BLADE REAMERS

These leaniers have eeceiitiic relief and can
be set to size without regrinding-. They are
unexcelled for design and simplicity and ease
of adjustment. The eccentrically relieved
blades are stronger than others, do uut chat-
ter, and produce a smoother hole. The hand,
shell and tinted chucking reamers have inter-
changeable nuts, screws and wrenches. The
bottom of a hole can readily be faced. By a
simple adjustment of the ])lades the reamers
can easily be set t(i size ^\•ithout regrinding.

On Optimism

'T^HE cessation of munitions
-*■ orders has caused our manufac-
turers to look with redoubled atten-
tion to their old lines and to such of
the new ones as the requirements of
present needs indicate as best.

Admittedly, things are unsettled.
They always are in the period of
transition. Yet everywhere we go
we find unbounded optimism. For
it is obvious that the needs of the war
while it lasts are such as to tax the
entire productive facilities of Can-
ada and the world. So if we are not
to make munitions, certainly we will
make other things.

The munitions period just ended
has been a liberal education to the
Canadian manufacturer. He now
has an organization, funds and ex-
perience to tackle anything in rea-
son.

His interests have broadened with
the present need and opportunity.

It is not his alone. It is every-
body's who buys from him or sells
to him.

He is in the market now for big-
ger things and more things than he
has ever been.

And this is where our service in
Canadian Machinery comes in. We
will put each manufacturer in touch
with the other, so that all their needs
will be supplied.

Our services as pioneers in the
education of manufacturers in
munitions making are well known.
And so, as in the past, we will en-
deavor here to offer you the broad
service of reflecting the needs and
opportunities of the moment, as
fast as they occur, and how best to
profit by them.

THE JOHNSON FRICTION CLUTCH

HAS CHANGED POWER TRANSMISSION

"Johnsons'' Drive Direct from Line Shafting

^PV

Single Clutch-Inter

Joliiisoii Fi'ietiou Clutches mouuted over every machine
allows aii}^ machine to be stopped or started at the will
of the opei-ator while the others are still running. This
method eliminates the cross belting from the regular
line shaft to the coimter-shafting and consumes a great
deal less power. There is only one-half the transmission
equipment necessary when the countershafting is elimin-
ated, which means one-half le?s initial cost, one-half less friction, one-
half less trouble and repair, one-half less .space occupied, and a
cleaner, neater and lighter machine room. Althougli small in size
the Johnson Friction Clutch is designed to drive co nsiderable power at high speeds. It works in a field
of its own, as we do not build a clutch to handle more than 40 H.P. at 1,000 R.P.^I.

It is the clutch the conservative engineers specify. Let us help you derive clutch .satisfaction. We have
the clutch for your requirements. Write for our booklet, "Clutches as applied in Machine Building,"

Wbricou)l)-Blais Jell Laibes

With Ample Power for the
Heaviest Guts

In the Whitcomb-Blaisdell I.athe increased poiver is
obtained by the use of double-back gears and a three-stcp-
cone driving pulley carrying an extra wide belt.

Nine changes of spindle speed are readily obtainable.
Ratios of gearing are unusually large. The smallest step
of cone is of sufficient diameter to give ample belt contact.

So throughout the transmission — from the pulley to cutting
tool — the Whitcomb-Blaisdell has an excess of power. No
cut that high speed steel can take is too heavy for the
Whitcomb-Blaisdell .

Recent Developments in Chucking Appliances

Staff Article

Quantity production on an efficiency basis is dependent upon the facilities provided for
the handling of the product, so that the minimum amount of time is consum.ed between
actual machining operation. Special efjort has been centered upon the design and construc-
tion of operating appliances for the rapid and economical manufacture of all classes of shells,
and some observations of driving appliances form the basis of the accompanying article.

IN a previous issue we described at
some length, a few of the develop-
ments that have taken place in the
adaptation of the expanding arbor to
to the manufacture of shells, and the ad-
vantages to be derived by cutting down
the unproductive factor of repetition
production. Where articles are to be
made im large, or comparatively large
quantities, it is very desirable if not ab-
solutely necessary, that accessory equip-
ment such as special chucks, jigs or fix-
tures, be provided to handle the work
more accurately and rapidly, and conse-
quently with increased efficiency and
economy. What was true in the case of
the expanding arbor for exterior ma-
chining, is equally true in the develop-
ment of equipment, either as special
machines or attachments, for holding
the work while metal is being removed
from the bore. While the expanding ar-
bor is essentially an attachment to ma-
chine tool equipment, and offers little
opportunity for incorporation in special
machinery of the unit type, the collet or
split ring compression chuck has many
features that provide ideal conditions
for the single purpose machines; so much
so, that the developments in this class of
equipment, while highly desirable for
shell making purposes, will leave an
excess of "ornamental" tools on the mar-
ket at the close of the munitions activity.
It is very unlikely that any line of do-
mestic enterprise will attain the magni-
tude of recent shell making, and there
will be little need for the bulk of the ex-
isting equipment of a special character,
but the varied experience of the past
three years may enable the different en-
gineers to adapt many of the designs to
a wider use in ordinary machine shop
practice.

The adapter is first held in an indepen-
dent jaw chuck and the large diameter
turned to fit the recess in the solid chuck
B; the diameter of this recess corres-
ponding to that of the counterbore of the
shell base. After fac-
ing the back, the
adapter is placed in
chuck and secured by
the cap screws C, holes
having been previously
drilled and tapped in
the proper position.
This method is very
satisfactory for mach-
ining, but has the dis-
advantage that con-
siderable time is re-
quired for placing in
and removing the work
from position; this
being the chief reason
against its general
adoption.

The chuck shown in
Fig. 2 does not offer
any better machining
facilities than that of
Fig. 1, but has the dis-
tinct advantage of
rapid operation, a fea-
ture that is all essential in this particular
class of work. It will be seen from its
construction that it is a unit in itself and
with a few modifications could be readily
adapted for certain classes of general
chucking work. In the design here
shown, the steel piece B was shrunk on
the end of the lathe spindle A, but for
ordinary purposes these could be made
of one piece and secured to the spindle
or face-plate by any convenient method.
The steel bush C, that controls the radial

tive notches.

menting was necessary before equipping
the various machines with such attach-
ments as are now in general practice.
Before shell making could be proceeded
with in any large quantities, it was very
essential that the different machining
operations be given a try-out on a few
shells so that some basis could be ar-
rived at for series production. The
chuck illustrated in Fig 3 is one that was
designed primarily for experimental
work, but several of these are still in ac-
tive service. The greater number of the
machines in the plant where these
chucks are used, were of the standard
type of engine lathe, and owing to the
fact that the firm was one of the first to
engage in the industry,much of the auxil-
iary equipment was of home-made de-
sign and construction. In the plain pot
chuck shown, B is the portion bolted to a
special face plate on the lathe. The out-
er portion of the body is turned in posi-
tion and is afterwards supported by a
steady head located between the clamp-
ing screws; these are six in number,
four at D being set permanently to a
certain position for a forging or rough
turned shell, the two screws E-E being
used for locking the shell in the chuck.
When facing the base end the gage rod
C is secured centrally to the rear end of
the chuck.

portion A, that carries the chuck proper,
is made with a shank that fits into the
nose of the hollow spindle B. Fitted to
the outer diameter of A is the steel bush
C, that controls the radial movement of
the hardened steel split ring D, the ring
spring keeping the sections in contact
with the conical bearing. On the outer
surface of the piece C, the operating
hand wheel E, is fitted freely and lock-
ed in a lateral position by means of the
ring H; this ring is of the piston type
and sprung over the shoulder shown.
The pawl G is fitted in the body of the
hand wheel and operates the ring C by
its action against the notch shown. To
prevent the fixture from turning in the
spindle, the pin I is driven in the shank
and locks the same in slot J. An inter-
esting feature of these chucks, especial-
ly on light work, is their semi-automa-
tic action; as the shell can be placed in
the chuck so that the starting of the
machine causes the inertia of the
heavy hand wheel to close the chuck, and
when stopping the opposite effect takes
place, as the momentum of the wheel is
sufficient to release the chuck when hand
or mechanical friction is applied to the
shell or the cone pulleys.

A special compression chuck having
the controlling hand wheel fixed to the
operating cam, is illustrated in Fig. 5.
In this device, the body or containing

where a turned shell is being held,
these can be replaced by others having
smooth surfaces.

The heavy collet chuck shown in Fig.
7 is somewhat cumbersome, but very ef-
ficient. The main casing of the chuck
is a large casting cored out as shown in

ly secured to a central position by means
of the screws F, two retaining screws
being used in the top block to prevent
the same from falling out of position
when assembling the head. The three
blocks H that control the radial move-
ment of the jaws J, are secured to the
centre spider of the head by the screws
shown. The gripping jaws are relieved
in the centre as shown at K, to provide
a better means of holding the shell. The
forked collar L which is connected to the
draw rod M, engages with the offset on
the end of the three jaws. The operation
of the device can either be obtained by
hand wheel or pneumatic appliance,
suitably located at the rear of the lathe
spindle. No springs are required to con-
trol the release of jaws after the pres-
sure has been removed, as the jaws are
positively controlled in a radial direction
by the dove-tailed connection shown.
Chucking Shells for Thread Milling
Some interesting attachments have
been developed for regulating the lead
of the chuck and likewise the shell, while
the threads are being milled in the base
or the nose. Owing to the nature of the

order to provide lightness with size. The
easing A is secured direct to the nose
of the spindle and locked in a permanent
position by means of the key C, the front
end of the chuck being supported in the

machining operation, it is necessary to
advance either the work or the milling
cutter while the thread is being cut. A
general arrangement of one of these de-
vices showing the chuck and also the op-
erating mechanism is illustrated in Fig.

complished by the milling process, the
spindle and the shell being revolved at a
constant speed by means of a train of
gears. The pulley A, which is driven
from an overhead shaft, is keyed to a
worm shaft, the worm of which is held
in the casing B, and engages with Che

the arm W, one end carrying the two
pawls X and Y, the other provided with
a handle for returning to the initial posi-
tion. The pocket Z contains the spring
that keeps the pawls to their respective
positions, these being set by the handle
A,. The ratchet wheel B, is keyed to

FIG. 7. HEAVY COLLET CHUCK FOR NOSE OPERATION.

worm wheel C, the latter being secured
to the shaft of which D is an integral
pinion; this pinion engages the interme-
diate gear E, which in turn drives the
main spindle in the centre of which the
gear G forms an integral part. Secured
to the forward portion of the spindle is
the chuck support I, upon which is
mounted the chuck mechanism. The
ring J that controls the split ring K, is
operated by tightening and releasing
pawls located in the web of the hand
wheel L. When in a working position,
the inner or nose end of the shell is
centrally supported on the bush O, fitted
to the stud P, that is threaded to the rear
spindle C^ which is firmly pinned to the

back support of the main spindle. The
idea of the bush is to accommodate
the two different sizes of nose threads.
The mechanism that controls the ad-
vance of the work is shown to the ex-
treme left of the cut. Fitted to the rear
housing is the bracket T that supports
the lateral feed shaft Q, and the oper-
ating gearing. The ratchet wheel U is
bolted to the bracket T, and always re-
mains stationary in relation to the ma-
chine frame. Bolted to the nut V is

the end of the shaft Q, the threaded
portion C, fitting the nut V, which is of
the same pitch as the thread to be cut.
When the counterbore and recess are be-
ing milled, the pawl Y is engaged with
the wheel B^ causing the shaft and the
nut to revolve together, with no lateral
movement in shell position.

After the base is prepared for the
thread, and the thread milling cutter
brought into working position, the
handle A, is moved to disengage paw] Y
and eng^e pawl X with wheel U; this
keeps the arm W and the nut Y station-
ary, resulting in the shaft Q revolving in
the nut. thus slowly drawing the spindle
and shell backwards equal to the pitch
on the thread C^ during the milling of
the work thread. On this particular ma-
chine a warning bell is attached to warn
the operator of too much over travel of
the mechanism.

PRECAUTIONS IN PICRIC ACID
WORKS

IN the hospital attached to the works of
the New England Manufacturing" Co.,
Woburn, Mass., the following routine
treatment is carried out in all cases of
gassing- with nitric fumes, and it has
given so far the best results. Foremen
are instructed to send their men at once
to the hospital even in the slightest case
of gassing. The patient is then at once
treated by the inhalation of ammonia,
by means of a modified lung motor, the
air used being- passed over aromatic
spirit of ammonia. This air may, if need-
ful, be forced into the' lungs without
causing a great deal of inconvenience to
the patient — the relief given being im-
mediate. When cough and substernal
distress are relieved, the jjatient is kept
under observation; sal volatile and oc-
casional inhalation of smelling salts is
the treatment, with the saline purgative.
Bed treatment is insisted upon in all
severe cases. No deaths have been re-
corded out of 398 cases treated, although

twenty-nine were serious. Acid burns in
the eye are treated with prompt first-
aid washing with lime water. At the
hospital the eye is irrigated with 16 oz.
of lime water and then with warm boric
acid solution. Hot compresses of boric
acid are applied until the inflammation
subsides. After this treatment only one
case of permanent injury to sight has
been recorded.

WELDED SHIPS
By T. J.
WELDING cast steel sections together
into ships is one of the latest proposi-
tions for speeding up shipbuilding.
Briefly the idea is to build a hull in sec-
tions, each a casting as large as the con-
ditions will allow, and to weld the cast-
ings together electrically by an arc
method. One casting might constitute
the bottom of the vessel for a section
eight feet in the dimension lengthwise of
the ship; another casting would form
practically one side of the hull for that
section, and a third the corresponding
side opposite; a fourth casting would
form part of the deck framework or the
stiffening between the upper parts of the
sides. The scheme is thus to build a
large number, of substantially identical
sections, so that the work may be carried
out in duplication in many centres and
at the same time it is intended to afford
a means of adding rapidly to shipbuild-
ing capacity without depending upon the
rolling mills, which are already fully en-
gaged. Midship sections would, of
course, be duplicated to a large extent,
and then for the corresponding parts of
standardized ships the identical castings
would be used.

The abutting edges of eastings would
be bevelled to form the V-shaped grooves
used in electric welding, and by means
of interlocking lugs and overhanging
ends the cast sections would be drawn
together to bring the edges into exact
registration, to be welded electrically.
In the size of the castings section 8 ft.
by 30ft. might be used or even larger if
the plant permitted it. The grooves are
on the inside of the hull, leaving the
outside of the ship without projections
other than the minute ones correspond-
ing to the surface of a steel casting un-
touched from the sand. The only work
contemplated necessary on the outside
would be the removal of chipping of thei
steel fins following the use of built-up
forms of mould, which may be used for
the large castings.

The inner gkins of the vessel to form
bulkheads, ranks and bunkers, may be
composed of rolled-sheet metal welded to
the decks, beams, frames and plating.
There would be the necessity in this type
of construction for the castings to be re-
inforced to secure strength to the hill
itself as well as to provide for satisfac-
tory casting results. On a close examina-
tion of this method it cannot be said that
there is a gTeat likelihood of its having
much success, as the work involved
might very possibly be lengthened
through broken castings, and riveting by
pneumatic power is not yet out of d-^te
or superseded by any more succes;'ul
method.

AN EARLY STEAMBOAT

THE present advanced state of marine
engineering causes peculiar interest to
attach to the accompanying illustration
of a design for a steamboat by John U.
Rastrick, who built engines for Richard
Trevithick in the beginning of :he 19th
century. The illustration, 3igned by
John U. Rastrick, March 27, 1813, Bridg-
north, is reproduced by courtesy of our
contemporary The Engineer ivhich pub-
lishes the following letter from the owti-
er, Arthur L. Johnson, Limited, of
Middlesborough, England, who wrote: "I
picked up at a country book-shop the
large folio volume of plates to Tred-
gold's Works, dated 1839, London, John
Weale, which contained, stuck m a back
page, a drawing which jnust surely be
of interest to all engineer-, as it is
signed by John U. Rastrick, March 27,
1813, Bridgnorth, and is a plan, sectional
elevation and end elevation of a design
for a steamboat. The engine is set in
the end of the boiler, and is high-pres-
sure, and directly connected to the crank
shaft, on which are mounted a pair of

in the paddles will be observed. The
whole thing is excellent in its simplicity
and directness of purpose."

"We are quite unable to say whether
this "ship," as Mr. Johnson calls it,
though pinnace is probably a better
name, was ever constructed, and if any
of our readers can give any clue to it,
we engineers would be greatly indebted
to them. Trevithick, as readers of his
"Life" know, was deeply interested in
steamboats, and in Vol. I, page 352 of
his "Life," a letter by him to Hazeldine,
Rastrick and Co., Bridgnorth, dated
November 13, 181.5, Penzance, may be
found. In it he says, "Enclosed you
have a drawing for the towing engine
for London, which you will execute as
soon as possible." It is clear from the
context that the engine in question was
meant to drive a screw propeller, so that
even if it were not two years later than
the Rastrick drawing, it would be ob-
vious that the same vessel is not refer-
red to."

paddle-wheels. The workmanship of the
draughtsman is admirable, and the shad-
ing would probably not be worth the
trouble to-day. The picture i.i of inter-
est, as Rastrick was the founder who
built the engines of Richard Trevithick,
and it would please me to know ;f Trevi-
thick ever had such a ship onstructed,
and if he planned it himself. The scale
of the drawing is %-in. to a foot, and
the ship was intended to be about 40 ft.
long, 11 ft. 6 in. beam, and 5 ft. 6 in.
draught."

Commenting on the picture our con-
temporary says: "Simple as it is, it is
an extraordinarily interesting link in the
history of steam navigation. The Trevi-
thick influence is obvious. The engine is
a high-pressure one — there s no con-
denser — and all the complication of side-
levers or overhead beamg is avoided.
The whole design is as direct and sim-
ple as could be desired. The cylinder
is apparently single acting, and we
gather that a trunk piston, with the
connecting-rod coupled In s gudgeon
pin, was proposed. It is almost buried
ia the domed end of boiler, which has a
fire-flue at one side and a return flue at
i'-'-a other. The counterbalance weights

completed in 1807, and that John Robert-
son's "Comet" was built in 1812. Hence
Rastrick — or Trevithick — could not be
regarded as a pioneer; but it must, at
the same time, be admitted that the sim-
plicity of the design, and the obvious
intention to use high-pressure steam,
are matters of the highest interest."

SOME NEW AND GROWING BRITISH
INDUSTRIES

By Mark Meredith.
SINCE the struggle between Britain and
Germany for military supremacy began,
British industrial concerns have been by
no means idle, and quite a number of
new industries have been started, and
there is very reason to hope that they
will continue long after the clash of arms
has ceased. One of the most important
steps in the struggle for wresting the
stipremacy from Germany in many im-
portant trades was the exhibition of Aus-
trian and German goods exhibited in the
Midlands, for at this collection of
samples it was possible for manufac-
turers to examine and handle the actual
products of the central empires. It is
no use laying down rules and regulations

and giving all manner of hints to a
manufacturer, for he wants to see the
actual article and take it to pieces and
reconstruct it his own way. Until he has
done that he has not much knowledge.

Municipal Encouragement

One immediate outcome of the Exhibi-
tion held under the auspices of the Board
of Trade was that the Chambers of Com-
merce of Birmingham and Wolverhamp-
ton adopted a forward policy and a
scheme involving research work has been
inaugurated, and several municipalities
and local authorities have set themselves
the task of attracting new industries
within their borders. A new factory will
shortly be completed at Wolverhampton
for the manufacture on a large scale of
wrought enamelled hollowware, and a
factory is to be built within the borough
for the manufacture of artificial silk. In
another part of the Midlands a brush-
making machine, made formerly in Ger-
many, is being manufactured, and a wel-
come stimulus has been given to the
flint-glass industry and other depart-
ments of the glass trade. Considerable
developments have been made in the
Sheffield district with the heavy steel in-
dustry, and electrically melted steel is
likely to play an important part in the
future struggle for industrial supremacy.
At the present moment a large number
of electric furnaces are in use and are
used chiefly for the production of alloy
steels for constructional purposes, and to
an increasing extent they are replacing
the crucible for carbon and high-speed
tool steel. For a number of purposes
electrically melted steel is proving an
efficient substitute for the scarce and
more expensive Swedish brands.

The war produced a boom in high-
speed tool steel which would appal the
imagination if the figures relating to the
value of the material produced and sold
could be given. Every crucible furnace
in Sheffield has been given up to its
manufacture, and there has been no
pause in the consumption or the demand.
Yet at the beginning of the war the steel
trade had no source for the supplies of
tungsten metal, without which high-
speed steel cannot be made — than Ger-
many. It was no light task to set about
creating a home supply, as the making
of tungsten involves intricate chemical
processes, accompanied by much patient
research and experiment, and it must be
taken into account that the German
makers had passed the experimental
stage years ago. Here again Britain rose
triumphantly to the occasion, and at the
present time there is an ample supply
for home needs and for export as well.
At least half of the ores are found in the
British Dominions and the whole of this
will doubtless be reserved in the future
for British makers.

Dyes and Optical Goods

Again, in the dye industry great pro-
gress has been made and the British
chemist has succeeded in producing what
is known as indanthrene blue, a dye which
the Germans declared could never be pro-
duced by any one but themselves; but not
only has the firm of British Dyes, Ltd

Pioductd this useful color, but a Carlisle

Users oi gelatine in sheets were often
of the opinion that laermany waS' tne
only source of supply lor this, but tor
many years a eeliast nrm has made
sheet gelatine, and in addition made
great use of it for enamelling and im-
parting a washaDle suriace to show-
cards.

Although German opticians have ob-
tained a high reputation for their goods,
and this reputation has been consider-
ably helped oy the fact that photograph-
ers and others thought that a lens of
German design and make was ipso facto
better than anything which the British
optician could turn out — actually that
belief, as the more expert photographers
know, will not bear examination. The
two factors which determine the quality
of a photographic lens are: first, its op-
tical formula, and second, the perfection
of workmanship by which the curves,
etc., prescribed in the scientific formula
are given to the separate glasses and
the latter polished and centred in their
metal mounts. It was a British optician,
Mr. H. Dennis Taylor, who in the early
'nineties of last century first showed in
the "Cooke" lenses that the very highest
optical qualities could be obtained with
v^ery simple glasses by means of suitable
air spaces between them, a principle
which the Germans, in common with op-
ticians in other countries, adopted, with
variation. In workmanship, too, official
tests in Great Britain by the National
Physical Laboratory, constantly made in
pre-war days, have shown that of two
lenses made according to the same Ger-
man formula, one in Germany by the
parent firm and the other in London by
the workmen of a licensee, the British-
made objective was optically the better
of the two. Again, the British have suc-
ceeded in evolving an improved type of
lens for the special work of photograph-
ing from aircraft, which has enabled ob-
servers of the Royal Flying Corps to ob-
tain photographs which were superior to
any work which the Germans could ex-
ecute.

THE ENGINEERING COUNCIL OF

AMERICAN ENGINEERING

SOCIETIES

THE formation of Engineering Council
is the outgrowth of a real need for pro-
per consideration of questions of gen-
eral interest to engineers and to the
public, and to provide the means for
tinited action upon questions of common
concern. Many such questions have
come up in the past and will arise in
greater number in the future. This war
has brought out very impressively the
actual need for united action of some
Icind. At prfesent the Council is con-
cerned only with four societies because
that seemed the most practical way of
getting a group of men together to
answer the immediate needs, but these
societies do not assume to speak for all
engineering societies in the country.
Criticism that they are exclusive in any
■way is utterly mistaken. There is the

hope that such a council by proving iU
self effectively may lead to much wider
co-operation in a strictly representative
body for all engineers, and thus pave
the way for a very much larger union
in the future.

How can the council be enlarged? By
a union of all societies either as the out-
growth of the present council or by a
congress of engineers leading to united
action by all societies. The first method,
will be the most natural one because
many local societies and national so-
cieties also have a large membership
in the four societies at present concern-
ed. We have three classes of engineers
to reach: first, those who are members
of local societies and not members of
national societies; second, those who are
members of national societies and not
members of local societies; and third,
those who are members of no society.
The last named class constitutes a very
Jarge number in our profession. We
are almost as mixed as American citiz-
enship and we suffer therefrom just as
much as America with a population re-
presenting every race and every people
in Europe. There can be no question of
the enormous advantage of union. That
union should be completed by strength-
ening the existing agencies and not by
the formation of new societies. The
national societies are thoroughly na-
tional notwithstanding an occasional
complaint that they are run by New-
York. If they have not been able to ex-
press the democratic spirit of our coun-
try as ^ully as might be desired it is
the fault of the members in all the
states and not of the city in which the
principal offices are located.

The four societies concerned at pre-
sent are the American Society of Civil
Engineers, the American Institute of
Mining Engineers, the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers and the Amer-
ican Institute of Electrical Engineers.
They have come together in pairs from
time to time in the past for special pur-
poses and there have been general con-
ferences on subjects requiring immedi-
ate settlement, but until the council was
definitely organized in June there was
no permanent body to advise all the
societies. We have had many fruitful
discussions in the past leading to use-
ful action. The Standardization Com-
mittee which has been organized to re-
present five societies has passed upon
commercial standards of all kinds. This
committee has great possibilities and it
should be enlarged enough so that its
influence may become very widespread.
Many problems have already been
presented before the council. Its per-
sonal made up of twenty-four men re-
presenting equally the four societies is
well balanced and judicial. The first
duty was necessarily the organization
and appointment of standing committees
(Which have already been reported in
the press.

Certain questions relate, however, to
the war and the assistance that engi-
neers can render. A coimnittee to be

called the American Engineering Ser-
vice Committee was appointed with in-
structions to invite the co-operation of
all engineering societies. Its present
duty is the tabulation and listing of the
members of the five societies represent-
ed, in order that we as a profession may
be in a position to take a larger part in
the industries after peace is declared.
This tabulation has already in port been
done, but in a rather unsystematic and
unequal way. It is hoped that the new
committee by having additions from
other societies may make a final and
lasting tabulation of all the engineers in
the United States. The list is to be
kept in the Engineering Building for
general use in Government problems
and in the industries. At present the
committee is devoting its attention to
the immediate need of the hour, name-
ly, the procurement of men for special
service in the Government. A list of
specialists in the societies has already
been completed. There are three meth-
ods by which engineers mav enter Unit-
ed States Service: first, through some
organization; second, through individ-
ual application to a department of the
Government; and third, through selec-
tion by the Conscription Law. But this
is War Service wholly and not Civil
Service which is the same now as it has
always* been. As a matter of fact a
great many engineers have aVeady en-
tered through the engineering societies,
throup-h colleges and through various
special boards in Washington.

Another committee is called the War
Committee of Technical Societies. It
was appointed to assist any organization
in Washington, such as for instance, the
Council of National Defense, the Na-
tional Research Council and the Naval
Consulting Board, in any wav in which
it can bring to the attention of the
engineers of the country the necessity
for thought and help in the numerous
problems that arise.

A council organized by the enlarge-
ment of the present Engineering Coun-
cil can be very effective in manv ways,
without interfering with the autonomy
of anv individual society. Every so-
ciety has some definite purpose of its
own and also some which it holds in
common with all other societies. One
of the latter purposes relates to public
service and to co-operation. To the end
that all societies may understand full
their opportunity, communications will
be sent out inviting co-operation and
it is hoped that the council may be suc-
cessful in ai-ousing sufficient interest to
bring about a larger and better council
for all engineers.

In organising the council provision
was made for the election to member-
ship of other national engineering and
technical societies. There is no doubt
that rules can be made which these so-
cieties may become members. This will
involve consultation and discussion in
the future. The office of the council
will be in the Engineering Building, 29
West 39th Street, New York City.

WELDING WITH APPLICATION TO
AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

By Herbert L. Towns.

THE evolution of the methods em-
ployed by manufacturers in the in-
dustrial world is undoubtedly a
source of wonder, and probably one of the
greatest advances is that of welding.
Along with welding has come the cutting
of metals by the application of heat, and
so great has been the development of
these means of manufacture, that the
welding and cutting apparatus has be-
come an ideal and absolute necessity to the
engineering trade. In dealing with this
subject it will be advisable to make some
classification, and the best method to
adopt will be to deal with the process of
welding in a general sense, and then con-
sider the possible applications to automo-
bile industry.

Welding is the process of joining two
pieces of metal by melting the adjacent
edges of the metal together, and the
methods of producing the necessary heat
have varied; among them are the oxy-
hydrogen, the oxy-acetylene, and the elec-
tric arc methods. The oxy-hydrogen
flame is very rarely, if ever, used, as the
heat produced by this flame is not nearly
so intense as the heat produced by the
oxy-acetylene flame or the electric arc,
and as the oxy-acetylene flame is more
extensively used, it will be as well to con-
fine all consideration to this method in
order to devote the limited time at our
disposal to a single subject:

Oxy-acetylene welding is classed as an
autogenous welding process in which two
parts of the same metal, or different
metals, are joined by the melting of the
adjacent edges of the two parts and
causing them to become joined without
the use of hammers or any form of com-
pression the melting of the edges of the
pieces of metal being performed by the
heat produced bv an oxv-ac(^ylene flame.
It may be well to mention that the term
"autogenous welding" is often used as
being the method of welding performed
bv the heat of the flame produced by the
combustion of a mixture of gases, but the
correct meaning of "autogenous welding"
IS the joining of pieces of metal without
the aid of any foreign material.

The oxy-acetvlene flame is very small
in size, and results from the combustion
of a mixture of oxygen and aceytlene.
which mixture has been made in a special
burning torch or blowpipe.

Acetylene

Acetylene is a gas, and may be quoted
approximately as 92 V2 per cent, of car-
bon and the balance hydrogen, this
only being approximate on account of
certain small percentages of impurities

l^ndrRr^'if riu ''^^""'^ *''^ Coventry (Eng-
Engi'nefi ""^ Institution of Automobile

that may exist; for instance, a certain
proportion of the hydrogen may be phos-
pnuretted and suipnuretted.

The presence of hydrogen retards the

combustion of carbon in oxygen, so in
order to get a more rapid combustion,
oxygen is mixed with acetylene, which
mixture generates the hottest flame for
welding, a heat of up to about 7,000 deg.
F. being obtainable. This heat is greatly
in excess of the heat produced by the oxy-
hydrogen flame, the heat generated by the
oxy-hydrogen flame being only about 4,000
deg. F.

Two important methods of supplying
acetylene to a shop in which the welding
of metals is performed are largely adopted
these being either to have portable weld-
ing outfits which include the generator,
oxygen cylinder, flexible pipes, blowpipe.

etc., or to have the generator fitted in a
special shed or house built outside of the
shop. In the case of the portable outfit
each operator has ene of these appliances,
which can be moved to any part of the
shon as required. It will be seen that
this method is most useful in shops where
welding is not too frequently to be done.
In the case of the fixed generator the
whole supply of acetylene for the use in
the shop can be produced and led into the
shop through pipes, the size of the gener-
ator being arranged to suit the size anJ
requirements of the shop.

Acetylene Generators
There are various types and makes of
generators now on the market, and it
will be very interesting and I hope in-
structive to devote some attention to one
or two of these types. A type of genera-
tor suitable for attaching to a portable
welding plant is shown in Fig. 1. This
generator is very compact, light in weight,
and has the advantage of being adaptable
to almost any portable framework, as it
requires no fixing. Adjustable chains
can be fitted to the side of the tank for
the purpose of carrying the oxygen cylin-
der, in which case it is unnecessary for
the generator to be fitted on a framework;
it can stand on the floor and be moved
from place to place as required. The fol-
lowing table shows the size of the genera-
tor in comparison with the output of
acetylene.

A generator of this description is auto-

quires little or no attention save the
charging of the carbide tray and the fill-
ing of the water tank. It will be seen

from Fig. 1 that the carbide chambers are
actually contained in the water tank,
which makes the generator very compact.
The plant is worked as follows: Carbide is
placed in the carbide trays or generators
(the sketch only shows one, but two are
fitted side by side) and the tank is filled
with water. The cock W, which is fitted
to the pipe T, connecting the water tank
with the generators is then opened, and
water flows from the water tank to the
generator; acetylene is then produced,
and passed through the pipe M into the
water, through which it bubbles into the
gas bell ; as the gas bell fills with acetylene
it rises, being steadied by guide and pil-
lars. One of the guides on the gas bell has
an extension fitted, which engages with a
twisted vertical bar S, this bar controll-
ing the water cock U. Now, as the gas
tell fills and rises the bar S is automati-
cally operated to shut off the water cock
U, this preventing further flow of water
from the tank into the generator. The
acetylene is taken from the gas bell
through the pipe N and is passed through
the purifier D to the burner. It should be
noted that the acetylene is first purified
by bein<j; pnssed through the water, from
the pipe M into the gas bell. As the
acetylene is used, the gas bell falls, and
-the cock U is again opened to allow water
to pass into the generator, and the pro-
cess repeats itself.

lene safe for handling and transporting,
an advantage which is worth considera-
tion. Acetylene is probably more useful
in this form for purposes other than weld-
ing, for instance, the lighting of automo-

A type of fixed generator is showrn in
"Fig. 2, which type of plant does not differ
in principle from that shown in Fig. 1.
In this type of plant the generators and
the purifying chambers are independent
of the gasholder. It will be noticed that a
special washing chamber H is provided
through which the acetylene is passed
from the generators to the gasholder. The
table in the preceding column shows a
comparison of the size and output of these
types of plant.

In each of these types of plant the
generators can be recharged with carbide
without in any way disturbing the supply
of acetylene, as the gas cannot get back
from the holder into the generators.
These types of generating plants are
manufactured as standard articles in
various sizes.

A method of supplying acetylene to
the welding torch, which is not commonly
used in practice, is that of having the
gas stored in tanks or cylinders, instead
of generating it. The acetylene contained
in these tanks or cylinders is dissolved in
a liquid called acetone, this being the only
known liquid that will dissolve acetylene
to any aopreciable e.xtent. Acetone will
dissolve 24 times its own bulk of acetylene
at ordinary atmospheric pressure, and
also possesses the strange feature of de-
stroying the highly explosive nature of
acetylene while they are mixed together.
This feature has the extreme advantage
•of rendering cylinders of dissolved acety-

biles and ships, where generators would
be a more dangerous fitment. Also there is
the possibility of drawing the acetone out
of the cylinder with the gas, if the rate of
discharge of the gas becomes excessive,
the result of this would be a reduction in
heat of the flame.

Oxygen

The oxygen which is used to support the
rapid combustion of the acetylene is not
as a rule manufactured by the consumer,
and there is actually only one firm in this
country at present which manufactures
this gas in any appreciable quantities.
The supply of oxygen is by no means ade-
quate enough to meet the demand for in-
dustrial purposes, and some idea of the
demand can be gathered from the fact
that the British Oxygen Company alone,
who are at present making additions to
the oxygen-producing plant, hope when
this is completed to have an output of
approximately 375,000,000 cub. ft. per
annum, or about 1,250,000 cub. ft. daily.

The pressure and consumption of
oxygen is governed by the size of the blow-
pipe used to suit various thicknesses of
metals, as will be seen from Table III.

Oxygen cylinders are made in sizes
varying to contain from 10 to 200 cub. ft.
of the gas, the size most commonly

used being the 100 cubic feet. If
the welder knows the actual or water
capacity of the cylinder, he can determine

the approximate volume of gas remaining
in a cylinder. This information is very
useful, and in reality essential, in the
case where a welder has a partly spent
oxygen cylinder and a somewhat lengthy
piece of welding to do, in order that it
may be ascertained if sufficient oxygen is
available to complete the work. As an ex-
ample the following may be taken. Say a
piece of welding work is required on metal
of % in to % in. thick, for a length of,
say, 2 feet. This will necessitate the use
of a blowpipe, which will consume 42 cub.
ft. of acetylene per hour, and the work
would require about half an hour in which
to be completed, as will be seen from
Tables III. and IV.

The consumption of oxygen for this
work would be approximately 27Vi cub.
ft. Now if we assume that the welder has
one 100 cub. ft. cylinder, which is indicat-
ing a pressure of 36 atmospheres, would it
be possible to execute the work? The
welder, knowing the actual or water capa-
city of 100 cub. ft. cylinder, say, 0.833 cub.
ft., can easily estimate the possibilities of
being able to complete the work with the
use of this cylinder. Knowing the pressure
of gas in cylinder (36 atmospheres) and
the capacity of the cylinder (0.833 cub. ft.)
the volume of gas at his disposal is equal
to 36 V 0.833= 30 cub. ft. (approximate-
ly) . If we deduct, say, 2 cub. ft. or 3 cub.
ft, which remain in the cvlinder when
the pressure has fallen to about 2 atmos-
pheres, and allow for the possibility of a
slightly larger consumption of oxygen bv
the blowpipe, we are left with approxi-
mately 26 cub. ft. or 27 cub. ft. of oxygen,
and it would probably be possible to finish
the work if it were done rapidly.

Installation

Having considered the production of
the necessary gases for oxy-acetylene
welding, the next point to note is the
carrying of the gases to the place for
burning. Where a fixed generator is used
it is necessary to have fixed nipes for the
service of the acetylene to the place (or
nlaces where more than one blowpipe is
being served) of welding, and the gas
fed to the blowpipe by a flexible tube con-
nection from the service pipe. Just as
the use of copper is prohibited in the
manufacture of acetylene generators, the
use of copner tubes is prohibited for serv-
ing the gas to the blowpipe: therefore,
iron pipes should be used for this purpose,
and these should oreferably be galvanized,
as the presence of any moisture in the gas
would tend to form iron oxide, which may
leave the pipe and accumulate in some
more vital part of the installation. These
fixed pipes should be fitted to the wall of
the shop, and should be arranged with a
slight upward run, so that any moisture
forming in the pipe would tend to run
bafk to the generator.

The size of the pin^s fitted depends en-
tirolv on the number and size of the blow-
nines to be used, and this should receive
'■'ireful consideration in arranging for
the fittinT of an oxv-acetvlene welding in-
stallation in anv establishment. There is
a danee'- of the pines being too small in
size, which results in the acetvlene arriv-

duced pressure, hence the welder may
have to increase the pressure of the oxy-
gen he is using, with more or less disas-
trous results, as will be seen later in the
consideration of the proportions of the
gas mixture. It should be remembered
that the length of the piping should be
taken into account, as well as the size of
the blowpipes to be used, when fixing the
diameter of the piping, in order that the
loss of pressure of the acetylene may not
be excessive.

The Safety Valve
There is an apparatus that is absolutely

FIG. 6. NORMAL FLAME.

indispensable in the welding installation,
this being the safety valve. As a matter
of fact each blowpipe must have a safety
valve which, in the case where a portable
acetylene generator is used, is fitted to
the generator, and where a fixed genera-
tor is used the valves are fitted to the fixed
service pipes, in each case the acetylene
passing through the valve, which is also
connected to the blowpipe by flexible tub-
ing. A type of safety valve is shown in
Fig. 3, a description of which is as fol-
lows: The apparatus consists of a cham-
ber or tank A, which is fitted with a fill-
ing pipe D, by which the tank is partly
filled with water, the level of the water
being regulated by the drain cock E. The
pipe B is connected to the acetylene ser-
vice pipe, and an outlet pipe C, to which
the flexible tube is connected, is provided.
The object of fitting this safety valve is
to prevent any oxygen from getting into
the acetylene pipes, as would happen in
the case of the blowpipe becoming tem-
porarily choked up due to the splashing
of molten metal or other causes, if a de-
vice of this description were not fitted, as
the oxygen is always fed at a greater
pressure than the acetylene; hence this
safety valve prevents the formation in
the pipes of a mixture of the two gases,

FIG. 7. FLAME SHOWINQ EXCESS OXYGEN.

Which would be of an explosible nature,
and consequfetitly dangerous in case of
the flame batk-firing.

The acetj'lene is passed from the ser-
vice pipe into the water, through which
it bubbles, and passes through the outlet
pipe to the blowpipe. In case of a stop-
page in the blowpipe the oxygen passes
through the flexible tube into the tank A,
and as the pressure in the tank is in-
creased due to the oxygen not being able
to gain an outlet, the water-level in the
tank becomes lower, by the water passing
into the filling pipe and the acetylene pipe,
until the level of the opening into the fill-
ing pipe is reached, then the oxygen bub-
bles up through the water in the filling
pipe and escapes into the air, as shown in
Fig. 4. These valves require very little
attdtitioii, save the checking of the water-

level by the drain cock when the system is
in use, this being preferable to getting
the correct level under working pressure.
The feeding of the oxygen to the blow-
pipe is done through flexible tubing of
three-ply rubber, which is preferable to
metallic flexible tubing, owing to the in-
creased danger arising from the deterior-
ation of metallic tubing not being so
noticeable as that of the rubber tubing.

Blowpipe

The blowpipe is an instrument requir-
ing careful consideration and thought
from first to last, in the first place in the
designing and lastly in the handling dur-
ing operation — the consideration in de-
sign being partly to make the instrument
absolutely safe in case of careless hand-
ling on the part of the welder, and con-
sideration on the part of the welder partly
to allow for bad design. The blowpipe, if
properly designed, built up and handled,
is an instrument of simplicity and safety,
being light, compact, and easy to handle.
The work to be performed by the blow-
pipe, namely, that of mixing the two
gases, is of extreme importance, as the
obtaining of a good sound weld to a great
extent depends on the mixture of the
gases.

In theory, for the total combustion of
one volume of acetylene 2% volumes of
oxygen are required, but in actual practice
the proportion of acetylene to oxygen
varies betvifeen 1 to 1 '4 and 1 to 1 % . The
result of a weld obtained by the use of a
mixture of gases in incorrect proportions,
may be of a very unsatisfactory nature,
as if a superabundance of oxygen be ad-
mitted the flame produced will have oxi-
dizing effects, whereas if a superabund-
ance of acetylene be introduced the flame
produced will have a carbonizing effect,
in which case a hardening of the metal in
the immediate vicinity of the weld will
result, and the finished work will, conse-
quently, be of a brittle nature.

The correct flame for welding is, there-
fore, half-way between an oxidizing and
a carbonizing one. An experienced welder
can readily estimate the proportions of
the mixture of gases he is using by a
glance at the flame produced. Some idea
of the flames produced by different mix-
tures is given in Figs. 5, 6 and 7. Fig.
.'i shows the flame produced by a mixture
v,nvin"- an excess of acetylene, and all
blowpipes should be able to produce such a
flame by having the oxygen admitted at

When a blowpipe is producing this type
of flame the acetylene cock on it, or the
outlet cock on the safety valve, should be
partly closed, till a flame similar to that
shown in Fig. 6 is produced, which is the
correct flame to use. The centre white
light which appears in Fig. 5, as a some-

what indeflnite form has now become
smaller and more definite. If a further
reduction in the supply of acetylene be
made by closing either of the cocks in the
acetylene system already mentioned the
centre white light becomes much smaller,
as shown in Fig. 7, which is an oxidizing
flame, produced by a mixture of gases
having an excess of oxygen.

There are many different forms of
blowpipes in use, but the general principle
is the same in each case, and they vary
in length from about 1 ft. to 2 ft. The
blowpipe as shovirn by the outline sketch.
Fig. 8, consists of a handle through which
pass two tubes, each fitted with a regulat-
ing cock. These tubes carry the gases to
a mixing chamber, from which the mix-
ture is passed to the nozzle. In the de-
sign of a blowpipe an essential point
for the consideration is the distribution of
weight, as the instrument should as nearly
as possible balance when held by the oper-
ator, for ease of manipulation.

Blowpipes are divided into three dis-

normal pressure and the acetylene at full
pressure, although this flame should not
be used. If a blowpipe is not capable of
producing a flame of this description,
either it is faulty, or the system for
carrying the acetylene from the generator
is in some way out of order, causing the
passage of the acetylene to be obstructed.

tinct classes, which are named according
to the pressure at which the acetylene is
being used, namely: (1) low pressure,
(2) medium pressure, (3) high pressure.
The pressures at which the acetylene is
used are approximately: (1) for low pres-
sure, 0.1 to 0.25 lb. per square inch,
which is the pressure at which the acety-

lene is generated; (2) for medium pres-
sure, 1.5 lb. to 5.5 lb. per square inch; (3)
for high pressure, 4.5 to 7 lb. per square
inch.

High-pressure blowpipes are not com-
monly used in practice, in consequence
of which blowpipes are often referred to
as being of two classes, high pressure
and low pressure, the high pressure class
being what in reality is the medium-pres-
sure class. The real high-pressure blow-
pipe is only adaptable in cases where dis-
solved or compressed acetylene is being
used, all other forms of acetylene having
insufficient pressure for the mixing of

the gases. Low-pressure blowpipes are
also uncommon as far as being used is
concerned. In this type of blowpipe the
gases flow at a very low speed, and back-
firing is experienced, however, safety de-
vices are usually fitted, which render them
safe to handle. The medium-pressure
blowpipe is the type that is most common-
ly used, and has very few disadvantages.
In this tvpe of blowpipe back-firing is
very unlikely, due to the pressure of the
gases, which keeps the speed high.

The only real danger experienced in
the use of the blowpipe is due to back-
firing, and this is provided for by the
fitting of safety devices. Attempts have
been made to cut out this small piece of
the installation, but the results have
been far from satisfactory.

The blow-pipe is usually made of
brass, and is constructed in such a way
that it is impossible for the gases to mix
before they reach the welding head or
mixing chamber. The nozzle is usually
a detachable piece, so that the size of the
orifice can be varied to suit the consump-
tion of gases required for different
classes of work. Blowpipes are usually
supplied with a series of nozzles, which
vary according to the consumption of
the gases required for the different
classes of work to be done. The size of
the nozzle is determined by the consump-
tion of acetylene per hour, and the sizes
have a large range, being made to use
acetelyne at rates varying from 1 cub.
ft. to 100 cub. ft. per hour. These noz-
zles are made of copper, which metal
withstands the heat much better than
other less suitable metals. The size of
nozzle suitable for welding various
thicknesses of metal may vary slightly

according to the make of blowpipe used,
but some idea of the consurhption of
acetylene can be -gathered from Table III.
and the approximate rate at which the
various thicknesses of metals can be
welded by using nozzles to give the
consumptions shown therein is given in
Table IV.

Some idea of the variation in costs of
welding various thicknesses of metals
can be gathered from Tables III and IV.
To take a comparison, say 1 ft. of weld-
ing is to be done on a metal having a
thickness of 1/20 in., and also a similar
length on a similar metal having- a
thickness of 2 in. In the first case the
consumption of oxygen and acetylene is
0.051 cub. ft. and 0.038 cub. ft. respec-
tively, while in the second case the con-
sumption of oxygen and acetylene is
125 cub. ft. and 100 cub. ft. respectively.
Hence, the proportion for the costs of
the gas alone is as 1 to 2,500; on top of
this the time taken for the operation is
39 times greater in the second case than
in the first case.

It has already been mentioned that the
blowpipe is an instrument of simplicity
and easy to handle, but also being an in-
strument of precision, very great care is
called for in its maintenance if a perfect
and economical working is to be exper-
ienced. The cleaning of the nozzles
should be attended to at regular inter-
vals, and great care is required here, as
the size and shape of the orifice should
not be altered, because any change in
this direction will cause more or less
serious results when used again. Any
increase in the size of the orifice of a
nozzle would tend to decrease the ve-
locity of the mixture at the exit, and the
tendency to back-fire would be increased.
It is, therefore, advisable in cleaning a
nozzle to use some instrument which is
not harder than the material of which
the nozzle is made, and a suggested
suitable instrument i.s a piece of brass
wire, which should be run through the
opening.

In order to ensure that the interior of
the blowpipe is kept free from any ob-
struction, the blowpipe should be discon-
nected from the feeding tubes and the
nozzles connected up to the oxygen tube,
then the opening for feeding oxygen into
the instrument should be temporarily
closed, and a current of oxygen blown
through the acetylene passage. By play-
ing on the end of the acetylene passage
with the finger a fluctuation in the ex-
haust of the oxygen is caused, and the
clearing of the interior of the blowpipe
is accomplished.

It is advisable to avoid the dismantl-
ing of a blowpipe by any except persons
thoroughly experienced in this class of
work, as the putting together of the
parts requires a certain amount of skill,
the accuracy of which governs the cor-
rect working of the instrument.

The starting up and stopping of the
working of blowpipe should be done in a
methodical manner, and the following

are suggestions for doing this, refer-
ences being made to Fig. 9 which shows

an outline 1 1 the apparatus in the vicin-
ity of the operator. First, the check-
ing of the hydraulic safety valve for
water-level ■should be done, by opening',
the overflow cock, and recharging with'
water if np<-essary, and the overflo^v
cock closed. Now, with the lower
acetylene tap B closed, the tap C should
be opened then the oxygen valve
should be i losed and the cylinder open-
ed by mean^ of the key. The adjusting
screw .should then be adjusted so the
require!;' working pressure is registerect

opened, and when the acetylene is
smelt a; the nozzle it should be ignited,
then the c.xygen tap should be opened
to admi! the oxygen to the blowpipe.
It will be Tiecessary to correct the oxy-
gen preh.surr, which wiJl have dropped,
as will b€ seen by the gauge, due to the
opening ol the tap. By means of the
tap B the acetylene should be shut dovpn
until the flame is normal as shown in
Fig. 6. On .stopping work the acety-
lene tap r should be closed first, then
the oxygen tap D, and in case of work
being completely stopped the oxygen
cylinder F^hnuld also be shut off and the
pressure jpleased from the regulator.

In case ot a back-fire the tap C
should be immediately shut off, and
the blowpipo should not be relighted
for a few seconds. Before the lighting
up of the blowpipe, in the morning, it
may be necessary to disconnect the
acetylene pipe from the blowpipe, in
order tc rtrain out any accumulated
moisture. ,

Properties and Welding of Different
Metals

The use ol welding instruments is a
comparatively simple task which can
be easily acquired by very short tuition
or practi(f but to become an expert
welder i; something much more diffi-
cult. In order to be able to execute
welding in a manner worthy of the
term welding it is necessary for fRe
executant ic have some knowledge of
the propei-ties of the metals which are
to be welded. The knowledge of the
properties of metals is useful in the
preparation of parts to be welded, and

FIG. 13. ■» i:I,D FOR METAL Q-VER %" THICK.

it is often due to the lack of adequate
preparation that comparatively simple
operations in welding prove to be fail-
ures. The metals commonly used in the
engineering industry are the only ones
we need consider, these being: cas^--
iron, malleable iron, wrought iron,
ste<»ls, copper, brass and aluminum. -

Welding Rods

Welding rods are used to replace any
metal that has been taken away, either
due to damage or due to preparation of
the article to be welded. Welding rods
should be used, except in cases where
very thin metal, say less than 16 gauge,
is being welded. Care should be taken
in the use of welding rods that no im-
purities are introduced into the weld — -
for instance, the rods should be kept
free from dirt or rust. Rods having
rust on them are oxidised, and it has
already been stated that an oxidised
weld is not satisfactory. It is advisable
to use welding rods supplied by firms
who specialise in the manufacture of
this class of goods.

In welding cast-iron work a welding
rod of alloy iron should be used, known
as silicated cast-iron rod. These rods
have a fair percentage of silicon in
them, which tends to take the brittle-
ness out of a weld by reacting with the
carbon in the iron.

In welding steels a rod of Swedish
iron is almost invariably used, which,
on account of its purity makes a weld
of very even grain, and easily machin-
able. In cases where special classes of
steels are beina: welded, such as "high
carbon steel," "nickel steel," etc., rods
of special composition should be used —
for instance in high carbon steel there
is the possibility of the carbon burning
when the metal is being fused, and the
welding rod should contain an excess of
carbon in order to replace that which is
t>umt, so that the finished weld will be
as nearly as posible similar to the metal
being welded.

Rods of phosphor-copper are used for
?idding to welds made in copper, while
for brass a rod of brass is used. In the
case of these metals being welded in the
foi-m of sheets, the welding rod is really
in the form of a -wire. In welding
aluminium a rod of aluminium should
be used. These rods are specially
alloyed, in order to give the necessary
even flow of metal.

In all cases the welding rod should
not be added until the metal being weld-
ed is melted, and for this reason the
rods ave alloyed to give them a lower
melting-point than the metals being
welded, so that the filling rods can be
added without allowing the metal to
cool down, for if molten metal comes
in contact with- cooler metal the result
is simply an adhesion, and not a weld.

Fluxes

Flux is used in welding as a cleansing
agent, and is usually in the form of a
powder. In the melting of metals it
often happens that impurities will be
left solid after the metal has reached
fusing-point, also it often happens that
oxides foi-m which have a higher melt-
ing-point than the actual metal — ^for
instance, in aluminium, as already men-
tioned, alumina forms, which has a
melting-point much in excess of the
melting-point of the aluminium (about
S.OOO deg. F.). The purpose of using
P" - is to float off these impurities, or
lo ".oduce a deoxidising effect -which

will retard the forming of oxides, and
therefore keep the metals clean for
welding together. These fluxes, like
welding rods, form a speciality in manu-
facture, and include various mixtures.
Samples of flux for iron and flux for
copper and brass are here Shown.
Fluxes should not be used by spreading
on the weld, but should toe used by
dipping the welding rods into them and
transferring to the weld.

Preparation of Parts to be Welded

It is important to make some prepar-
ation to the pieces to be welded, and in
this, there is a certain amount of scope
for sound judgment on the part of the
welder to make the most suitable
preparation for the nature of the weld
to be made. However, for straightfor-
ward work there are one or two points
which apply generally. Plate work of
a thickness of less than 1/16 in. can be
welded with straight edges (Fig. 10);
then for thicknesses between 1/16 in.
and fl/16 in. the edges of the pieces
should be bevelled slightly (Fig. 11).
With plates or pieces of thicknesses be-
tween 3/16 in. and % in. the angle of
the bevel should be increased (Fig. 12.)
and for thicknesses exceeding % in. t^p
pieces should be double^bevelled (Fig.
1.3). In all cases the ibevelled edges
should be cleaned to remove any oxide
that may exist. This bevelling is nec-
essary so that the operator can rea'-h
the far side with the flame and weldinsr
rod, as in cases wliere attempts have
been made to weld pieces of metal of a
reasonable thickness without first
bevelling the edges the metal has melted
throughout the whole thickness at the
same time, and the small white flame
has swept the molten metal away on
the near side, thus spoiling the weld.

Incidentally it may be worth men-
tioning here that the small white por-
tion of the flame should never -ome
into contact with the metal.

Preheating

One of the sources of trouble in
welding is the liability to develop
cracks, which result in a broken weld,
but this liability can be greatly reduced
by the practice of preheating. In the
welding of metal it is necessary to raise
the temperature of the metal from that
of the surrounding air to the melting-
point of the metal, and one of the ad-
vantages of preheating is that whole
piece of metal to be welded can be ex-
panded, so that after the weld has been
made a uniform contraction will take
place, and prevent breakage of the weld.
It is not the expanding of the metal that
is the cause of damage so much as the
contracting, for a weld may appear tc
be good and satisfactory after comple-
tion, but unless some allowance has
been made for the contraction, a break
is more likely than not to occur.

Applications to Automobile Engineering

Welding is not a practice that is
adopted to any great extent in the pro-
duction of automobile parts. One of-
the outstanding features of welded
parts is the fact that comparative light-

ness can be obtained, where the part is
not subject to much stress, by the use of
thin metal. This fact should 'be taken
advantage of in the manufacture of
light cars as much as ever possible. Of
course without considering light car
design it is impossible definitely to state
which parts should be built up and
welded. In general automobile practice
the extreme lightness which is charac-
teristic of the light car is not required,
hence, the practice of welding is not
adopted to so great an extent as would
be done in case of necessity; however,
cases of necessity do occur.

Rear axles can be built up of steel
tubes, with a central bronze casting, by
welding, this being the only method of
makir.T a sound permanent joint. Parts
such as water pipes should be built up
by welding, all flanges being welded to
the pipes, and branch pipes welded to
the main pipe. Flanges can be welded
to exhaust pipes, and silencers can be
completely built up by welding, but this
is not altogether practicable, on account
of the difficulty of dismantling if it be-
comes necessary for cleaning inside.
Brackets of various description can be
built up by welding, but where thin
metal is required pressings become a
reasonable competitive proposition;
however, where different thicknesses arc
-.equired on a part pressings are impos-
sible for the complete part. Radiators
made up of pressings welded together
are quite a commercial proposition,
especially for commercial vehicle work,
and can be turned out in quantities
quite easily by an intelligent operator.
For touring car work cast radiaitor
tanks and brackets are preferable on
account of a better appearance being
obtainable.

In the experimental department of an
automobile manufacturing works weld-
ing can be applied with some advantage,
for the cost of patterns for castings
might be eliminated to a great extent.
Alterations^ to the compression of an
engine can be carried out by cutting the
connecting rod and welding up to make
it either longer or shorter as required.
Lugs or bosses can be welded to castings
or other existing parts; in fact the prac-
tical use of we'ding in the experimental
deoartment is almost unlimited.

In foundry work the practice of weld-
ing is also applicable, as in the trim-
ming of castings slight breakage fre-
quently occurs, and repair by welding
is preferable to scrapping the casting.

Repair Work

Breakages are more or less frequent
in almost every detail used in the con-
struction of automobile work, and prev-
ious to the adoption of oxyacetylene
welding for the repair of such break-
ages the parts had to be replaced at
some considerable expense to the owner.
Now that the art of repair to breakages
has become a satisfactory proposition,
the parts thrown over to the scrap heap
by the automobile o-wner are less num-
erous. However, to the automobile
manufacturer, the carrying out of re-
pairs is a much more satisfactory

September 6, 1917.

proposition by replacement than by
patching up the existing part, as re-
gards both finance and labour, except in
cases where the part is of ancient de-
sign and some difficulty would be ex-
perienced in getting a single part
through the works.

A common breakage in cylinders is in
the water jacket, often caused by the
freezing of the water, and such break-
ages can be repaired satisfactorily by
welding. One point worth noting is
that all damaged metal should be cut
away in order to make a clean surface
for welding.

Base chambers and gear cases are
among the parts requiring careful
handling and -preparation in repair
work, the main difficulty in these parts
being the liability for error in the align-
ment of the bearing. However, by
careful preparation in the way of ad-
justing the broken parts and preheating,
this difficulty should be overcome.
Where the metal is damaged, the dam-
aged parts should be cut away and a
new piece welded in. No satisfactory
result can be obtained by pouring molten
metal into a crevice, as adhesion takes
place instead of the new and old metals
becoming joined as one piece, with the
result that when the new metal cools
down, cracks are almost certain to ap-
pear. Parts such as base chambers and
gear cases are mostly made in alum-
inium, and in repairing aluminium the
work should invariably be preheated to
about 600 deg. F.

Breakages in frames can be satisfac-
torily repaired by welding, but as a rule
it is advisable to back up the portion n*
the frame in the vicinity of the repair
with a plate, because a breakage in a
frame is a sign of weakness due more
often than not to unfair distribution of
the load on the part of the owner or
owner's representatives.

TeeUi can be welded to broken gear
wheels, but this work should be care-
fully adjusted and clamped, then pro-
heated before actually welding. The
tooth or teeth to be welded in should be
positioned by a plate, having slots cut
in at the correct pitch of the teeth, so
that the plate fits to portions of each of
the two pieces to be welded together.

ELECTRIC STEEL-HARDENING
PROCESS

THERE has been recently patented and
developed a method of hardening steel
by means of electricity known as the
Wild-Barfield process, which, while fol-
lowing recognized practice in the fact
that the steel is hardened by heating and
quenching, exhibits its principal depart-
ure from customary practice in the
manner in which the correct tempera-
ture of the steel is determined.

The process is carried out by means
of the electrical furnace, shown in the
accompanying engraving, which contains
an electrical heating coil embedded in
the lining A; the cylindrical shell is of
suitable heat insulating material. The
actual furnace temperature is measured

CANADIAN MACHINERY

by a thermo-couple in the usual way,
being maintained above the decalescent
point of the steel to be hardened. The
manner in which it is ascertained when
the steel has reached this point involves
recognition of the phenomenon that steel
loses its magnetic properties when its

SELF-INDICATING ELECTRIC FURNACE FOR
HARDENING STEEL.

temperature reaches the decalescent
point.

Solenoid Principle

The heating coil when in use, acts
in a similar manner to a solenoid coil,
radiating magnetic flux which is increas-
ed when a core of magnetic material,
i.e., the gauge or other steel body to be
hardened, is inserted. The presence of
liquid salt as a heatmg nieaium m tne
furnace slightly reduces the influence of
the core on action of the coil.

On the exterior surface ot the tur-
nace is wound a coil of insulated wire
B, connected to a reflecting galvano-
meter, whose spot of light is arranged
to move on a scale in the usual way.
When the piece of work is being insert-
ed in the furnace, the increase of the
magnetic flux from the heating coil in-
duces a current in coil B and deflects
the light spot. As soon as the piece of
work is in position, the magnetic flux
from the solenoid remains steady at the
increased value so that the external cur-
rent in coil B ceases and the light spot
goes back to zero. These actions how-
ever are meanwhile irrelevant to the
final determination of temperature.

The influence of the work during heat-
ing on the magnetic flux from the solen-
oid coil is stationary, until the temper-
ature is reached at which the steel be-
comes non-magnetic, i.e., the decales-
cent point. The loss of magnetism by

r 263

the work takes place in a comparative-
ly short space of time, and affects the
flux of the solenoid coil in a manner
equivalent to withdrawing the core
when magnetised. The decreasing mag-
netic flux of the solenoid coil brought
about by this state of the work induces
an external current in coil B in the op-
posite direction to that previously in-
duced, deflecting the light spot accord-
ingly, and if the work remained in place
in this demagnetized condition the spot
of light would return to zero when con-
ditions became constant again. This
second movement of the light spot is
therefore the indication that the mag-
netism of tlie work is vanishing due to
its assuming that condition which will
enable it to harden when suddenly
quenched.

Rapid Operation

Rapidity of operation is a feature of
the apparatus, a 1 in. plug screw gauge
being raised to quenching temperature
in II2 minutes, the use of a salt bath
being also conducive to uniformity of
results. Results of tests carried out at
National Physical Laboratory, London,
for the Hardness Tests Research Com-
mittee are given below. The steel experi-
mented with was ordinary tool steel,
containing 1..5 per cent, carbon. Two
specimens were hardened in the usual
way by quenching in water, and two
others were treated by the Wild-Bar-
field process, as applied to screw gauges.
The scleroscope and resistance-to-abra-
sion figures for these four specimens
were as follows: —

SeIeroscoi)e abrasion

Water quenched 81-110 560, 560

Water quenched 78-112 420. 530

Wild-Barfield 68 710.710

Wild-Barfield 70 710! 560

In connection with these figures it is
to be noted that in the opinion of most
the scleroscope, whatever property or
combination of properties it may pre-
cisely measure, does not give a figure
which is a just measure of that property
which it is desired to confer on steel by
"hardening" it. It does not necessarily
follow, therefore, that the scleroscope
figures quoted above imply that the
Wild-Barfield process yields a softer
material than the water quenched. On
the other hand, the scleroscope figures
do establish the fact that water quench-
ing does not give a uniformly treated
product; the figure obtained varies, it
will be senn, over a wide range for
different parts of the same specimen.
Methods of directly testing resistance to
abrasion are not yet wholly satisfactory,
and it is quite probable that the figures
420 for the water quenched specimen
and 560 for the Wild-Barfield are due to
irregularities in the testing machine.

COAL DUST IN MOULDING SAND

By F. J.

THE inclusion of coal dust as an in-
gredient in moulding sand has three
main objects: first the heat of the mol-
ten metal carbonises the coal dust and so
makes the mould porus to the gases
given off' by the metal; second, the gas

from the coal dust prevents in some
measure the fusion of the sand by the
iron, and thereby results in a casting
with a much smoother face than would
otherwise be the case; and, thirdly, the
effect of the carbon in the coal is to
make the skin of the casting soft and
dark in color. Opinion and practice
with regard to the . selection, grading
and proportioning of coal dust in mould-
ing sand varies widely and though the
subject of coal-dust has been by no means
neglected, there is still room for a com-
prehensive study of the whole question,
one embracing not only experimental re-
search but also the gathering of infor-
mation in regard to current practi.ce in
the best foundries.

In selecting a suitable quality of coal
four points have to be watched: the
bituminous quality of the coal, the ash
content, the volatile content, and the
proportion of fixed carbon. Hitherto,
too much importance has been attached
to low ash content and high percentage
of carbon, without due regard for the
fact that such a coal must necessarily
prove low in bituminous qualities, and
be altogether of too refractory a char-
acter to fulfil the four ideals. A good
working coal dust for general foundry
use should show about 12 per cent, ash,
37 of volatiles and 51 per cent, of fixed
carbon. This ash allowance will seem
high, but the volatiles have to be taken
into consideration, and it has, in fact,
been found that scabbed castings with
harsh, uneven skin, have resulted from
the use of coal dust in which the ash
content was much lower. Especially
was this the case in some experiments
made with good class anthracite, in
which the percentage of ash was under
4, and the conclusion arrived at was
that the coal dust had resisted the heat
so much, owing to the presence of a high
percentage of carbon, that it had acted
as a refractory, and actually prevented
the escape of gases from the mould by
closing up the pores. As regards the
fineness of the coal dust, the grade must,
of course, vary according to the class of
work and the grade of the sand.

For very light castings a coal dust of
exceedingly fine grade must be used,
especially if the sand has an open tend-
ency, while a slightly coarser, though
still fine grade should be used for less
light work. For the larger class of
castings, in which it is necessary for
a considerable volume of gases to es-
cape quickly, the medium and coarse
grades of coal dust are more appro-
priate, blackings or facings being used
to secure a smooth, even skin on the
casting. Where coal dust of too coarse
a grade for the size of the casting is
being used, the error is often evinced by
the appearance of small pits on the face
of the casting, which are easily distin-
guishable by their formation from the
indentations caused by the presence of
coarse grains in the sand, and are caus-
ed by gas from the carbonized coal
grains pressing into the molten metal
instead of escaping through the sand.
As to the proportions, much depends

upon local circumstances — class of cast-
ing, sand used, thoroughness of mixing
and quality of coal dust, etc., but two
mixtures which have been used with ex-
cellent results are as follows: — one, 55
parts old sand, 30 parts new sand and
15 parts coal dust. This is for heavy
castings, and the other, which is suit-
able for light work is 70 parts old sand,
25 parts new and 5 parts coal dust.

A HANDY SAFETY VALVE CHART

By N. G. Near
A FORMULA which I believe is worthy
of working into chart form is presented
herewith. This is the formula:

A=0.2074 W G

Where A=the area of the safety valve
in square inches;

P=the absolute pressure in pounds
per square inch;

W=pounds of water evaporated per
square foot of grate surface per hour;

Gr^the grate area in square feet.

To use the chart simply lay a
straight edge across the chart twice as
shown by means of the dotted lines
drawn across this chart and the area is
immediately found in column C without
doing any pencil or mental figuring at
all.

First connect the evaporation per sq.
ft. of grate surface per hour (column
A)'with the grate area (column D) and
locate the intersection with column B.
Then run a line through the absolute
pressure (also in column A) and the in-

tersection which has already been lo-
cated and the intersection of this line
with column C gives the area.

For example, what area of safety
valve is required where 60 pounds of
steam are evaporated per square foot
of grate per hour, where the grate area

is 40 square feet, and where the steam
pressure is 150 pounds absolute ?

The dotted lines show how this parti-
cular problem is solved. Connect the 60
(column A) with the 40 (column D)
and locate the point where the line cuts
column B. Then run a line through
this point and the 150 (column A) and
an extension of this line cuts column
C at the point 3.3. The area of the
safety valve should therefore be at least
3.3 square inches.

I believe this method of making dou-
ble use of column A will interest read-
ers. It serves both for the pressure and
the evaporation. The first line connect-
ing the 60 and 40 represents a multipli-
cation as is evident by inspection of the
formula. The second line performs the
division.

TESTS FOR OILS AND VARNISHES

By C. T.

ONE of the most reliable tests for raw
and boiled oils is the flash test, the
temperature at which linseed oils usual-
ly flash being 470 deg. Fahr., whilst
mineral oil, which is the chief adulter-
ant of linseed oil flashes at about 400
deg. F., and resin oil still lower, so that
the flash test is a simple method of de-
tecting adulterants.

If the amount of the adulterant in the
oil is to ascertained weigh a portion
and place it in a beaker or any suitable
vessel, and add a small quantity of caus-
tic soda, alcohol, and a little water. The
contents of the vessel should be then
boiled for some time, with constant stir-
ring, after which the oil will be found
to be saponified, whilst the adulterants
will be unchanged. The mass is then
poured into a separating vessel, and
ao-itated with benzine until it takes up
the mineral oil, which afterwards comes
to the surface of the vessel. The bot-
tom layer is then run ofl" and the top
portion is well washed with warm water
until all traces of the saponified oil
have disappeared. The residde, which
is mineral oil, is placed in a vessel and
weighed.

Common resin is also used as an adul-
terant, and may be easily detected, if in
any considerable, quantities, by painting
some of the oil on any glass surface,
and when, it is thoroughly dry, rubbing
well with the finger. If the oil contains
much resin the film will leave the glass
and crumble, whilst a good oil will not
be aff'eoted.

The only reliable test for turpentine
is distillation. The chief adulterants
are shale spirits, Russian turpentine,
resin spirit and coal-tar naphtha. The
determination of the proportion of the
adulterant would require special chemi-
cal apparatus, but a simple method is to
warm a sample of the suspected turpen-
tine and a sample of pure American
turpentine. Should the suspected tur-
pentine contain any of the above adul-
terants they may be easily detected by
the odor, which is entirely different
from the pure American turpentine.

CO-PARTNERSHIP

By Mark Meredith.

THE great war in which the
world is now engaged has brought
about the solution of many in-
teresting and serious problems in
British national, business and social life;
but there are numerous others which call
for grave consideration, amongst the
most important of which is what is gener-
ally termed the labor problem. That this
problem will become more acute so long
as the war continues and that it will un-
doubtedly attain its climax when the war
is over and millions of men are relieved
from military service, are conclusions to
which the most intelligent and shrewd
business men are being forced.

From a close study of the relations of
capital and labor from within, many
authorities are agreed, from a study of
the abilities, habits, intelligence and pre-
judices of working men as a class, that
co-partnership is the one means of bring-
ing capital and labor into more friendly
and satisfactory relationship, and whilst
it also affords a practical solution of the
labor problem, it ensures a return to the
supremacy in the industrial world which
Britain once held.

No Universal Scheme

Whilst this may be accepted as the
verdict of expert judges and practical
business men there is no universal
scheme of co-partnership which is applic-
able to all industries, for each scheme
should be the result of careful and seri-
ous consideration, and may conceivably
differ very definitely, both in detail and
administration from some of those in
operation in many works that recognize
the stimulus the sharing of profits gives
to the workpeople. There are, of course,
certain broad principles which must be
kept in view in this endeavor to secure a
higher efficiency in the woi'ker, of all busi-
ness men who have studied this, Lord
Leverhulme (till recently Sir William
Lever) has given it most careful thought
and consideration, and the following prin-
ciples have been evolved from his experi-
ences and also many others, based upon
actual experience.

Co-partnership, or profit-sharing, must
be kept from degenerating into charity or
philanthropy, and its object must be in-
creased efficiency of the undertaking
adopting it, with increased prosperity of
all connected therewith. It must not place
management in the position of servant to
labor, but it must ensure absolute free-
dom to labor from interference of man-
agements in the enjoyment of the benefits
to be derived from profit-sharing. There
must be greater stability than a mere cash
pajTTient bonus system, and there must be
an elevating tendency on management
and labor, raising them in the social and
industrial scale, and increasing their

power of enjoyment and happiness, as
well as their power of usefulness. It is
eminently desirable that the workers'
wives and families should feel the benefits
of the system, but that system must be
such that it is not antagonistic to the
legitimate rights and privileges of the
working man, whether the brain or the
hands are the means of work. It is ad-
visable that control remain with those
who find the cash capital.

In considering the adoption of the prin-
ciples of co-partnership every firm must
carefully consider the scheme which it
proposes to adopt, in relation to the class
of workmen who form the majority of the
employees, and careful study will have to
be given to the calibre of work, i.e.,
whether skilled, unskilled or semi-skilled,
and schemes must be thought out which
will fit in with all the conditions obtain-
ing in any works. As a matter of fact
very few co-partnership schemes have
been found to be successful, and those that
have been have been governed by special
circumstances, as in the case of the Port
Sunliffht Works. The trade unions mav
be taken for granted as opposing — at least
at first — any scheme of co-partnership,
because it would seem that their attitude
does not aim at efficiency and increased
production on the part of their members.

Labor More Than a Tool

Further, capital must be educated to
understand and to admit that labor is
something more than merely its paid tool;
and it must also be recognized that capi-
tal, as represented by a large body of
shareholders, is no longer any more of a
partner in production than is labor, but
is merely an investor, or, in other words,
a money lender. Capital, as such, is de-
pendent on labor and management for
its results, and has no right under present
day conditions to allocate to itself all the
gain that may accrue from intelligent and
shrewd management and efficient labor.
Whole-hearted loyalty in the efficient pro-
duction of his work by the intelligent and
industrious worker can never be obtained
from the mere drawer of wages. It is
equally necessary that labor be educated
in connection with its new responsibilities
in relation to a sound co-partnership
scheme which is based on business prin-
ciples and not on philanthropy. No
profit-sharing scheme will be of any use
if the workman does not feel that he is
interested in the losses of the business as
well as the profits.

No co-partnership scheme can hope for
success which attempts to interfere with
standard wages. The latter must in all
cases be at least as high as they would

but it may be well that, if a proposal is
made, which is manifestly an honest at-
tempt to improve the status and earning
capacity of the workman, by dividing
fairly with him the products of his labor,
the whole view of trade unionism may
change in regard to this question after it
has been convinced that the proposal is
genuinely in the actual interests of capi-
tal and labor.

be in works where ordinary conditions
prevail, whilst alterations must only fol-
low the customs and necessities of the
trades, so that the co-partners may re-
ceive real pecuniary benefits promised,
which is their full share of the profits over
and above the standard wages of the dis-
trict. On the other hand, if there be no
profits, the partners will receive nothing
but their wages.

MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY AND

CAPACITY LOSSES

By O. C.

AN interesting method of forcing upon
the notice of managements the losses oc-
casioned by working plant at less than
full capacity has recently been evolved
in one industrial concern and it consists
of a monthly chart, upon which is mark-

much as it takes away from available
assets. For instance, if a machine
costs $500, the interest on that money,
say at 5 per cent, per annum, is loat:
then there are taxes on the machine at
say 2 per cent., and insurance at 1 per
cent. Further the machine probably de-
preciates at a rate of 20 per cent, per
annum, and perhaps $25 per year or

WOMEN WORKERS MAKING CORES IN A FOUNDRY.

ed dJagramatically the percentage of
maximum output achieved in each de-
partment, with a series of columns for
inscribing the total cost to the firm of
the idle plant and for allocating that
cost under the several heads of lack of
orders, lack of material, bad material,
breakdowns and poor planning. The
Tegular presentation of such a chart
constitutes a recurrent challentre to the
management. If the cause of particular
or general idleness of plant is lack of
orders, either the sellins department is
at fault, and needs waking up, or the
plant is larger than it should be, and
the excess should be disposed or distri-
buted to better advantage.

If heavy losses appear as due to lack
of labor, their magnitude will indicate
the amount of effort to be directed to-
wards remedying that deficiency. If
lack of material is the assigned cause of
undue expense, something is wrong at
the purchasing end or in the material
store. If in any case the expense of
idleness is greater than can be attri-
buted to all these causes together, then
the balance must go down to bad plan-
ning or defective management in gen-
eral. It may be said that any manager
worthy of the name knows without tell-
ing what plant is standing idle, and
why; but it is very easy for a busy man-
ager to overlook the fact and the signi-
ficance of idle plant, until something
happens to bring it sharply under his
notice, and very few managers have any
but the vaguest notion of the actual cost
in cash incurred when machinery is not
working at its full capacity.

The data used in constructing the chart
is Vised on the fact that simple owner-
ship of a machine costs money, inas-

more must be paid for the rent of the
space it occupies. All these expenses,
say $100, go on whether the machine is
used or not. Thus the simple fact of
having bought this machine and kept
it takes from the firm's assets practical-
ly 25 cents a day. The chart gives an
indication of the efficiency of the man-
agement as distinct from the efficiency
of the workmen.

Charts of this nature cannot but have
a very educational influence on the man-
agers of those plants. They show that
idle machinery which cannot be used
should be disposed of, and the money
received and the space occupied put to
some useful purpose. In several cases
the issue of the first of such charts re-
sulted in the scrapping of machinery
which had been idle for years. The space
thus saved was used for a purpose for
which the superintendent had felt need-
ed a new building. In another case it
resulted in the renting of temporarily
idle machinery at a rate which went far
towards covering the expense of carry-
ing that machinerj'.

METRIC SYSTEM PROS AND CON

THE persistency with which pro-metric
enthusiasts advocate the adoption of
that system throughout the world is apt
to be overlooked or not recognized by
the great body of engineering manu-
facturers who, because of the fact that
such a change would affect them finan-
ciallv in a markedly adverse degree,
should be fully aware of just what such
a revolution would mean to them, ne-
cessitating a re-education of the rising
and risen generation of technical men.

Mr. W. R. Ingalls, president of the
American Society of Weights and Mea-
sures, recently submitted a paper to the
Institution of Mining and Metallurgy
in London, entitled "Shall Great Brit-
ain and the United States adopt the
Metric System?"

The author, who is also editor of the
Engineering and Mining Journal, and
president of the Mining and Metallurg-
ical Society of America, said the sub-
ject was of vastly greater importance
than was commonly comprehended
and the people of Great Britain, her col-
onies and the United States should be
' roused to the importance of preserv-
ing their interests.

Metric Not the Only Decimal System.

The advantages of the decimal system
are so manifest in many cases that the
pro-metric party is wont to cloud the
issue by making it appear as if the
metric system were the only decimal
■system, Really, there is the fundament-
al difference that the decimal system per
se is merely arithmeic, while the metric
system involves the basic units of
weights and measures. Another source
of confusion will be dispelled if we can
eradicate the chimerical idea of estab-
lishing uniformity. From a project that
would manifestly put the weights and
measures of the greatest industrial na-
tions of the world at sixes and sevens
it must be evident that the result would
be more discord instead of more uni-
formity. The substitution of metric
weights for English weights would
create relatively light disturbance. Of
course, the changing of all our weighing
scales would cost a huge sum, and the
recalculation of schedules — such as rail-
way rates — -must come to something,
like the ransom of an empire, but after
these were done, we might get on pret-
ty well.

Let us consider the conditions that
have been established in the railway
business. The tracks are marked with
mile posts. The railway gauge is 4 ft.
SVz in. We might in course of time
get in the habit of thinking of the latter
as 1,435 mm., but manifestly it would
never be convenient to refer to the mile
posts as being 1.609.35 km. apart, and
either we should have to continue to
think of miles, or else pull up the posts
and replant them at km. intervals,
which would be something of a job. In-
cidentally, our posting of highways
would have to be revised, and the auto-
mobilist would mourn the day when
metric legislation was enacted.

Question of Gauges and Standards

In machine shops the measures would
be done with the aid of standard gages,
conforming to the requirements of prac-
tice and convention. These gages are
based on the inch. If the metric system
were made compulsory, it is obvious that
there would be but two alternatives, viz.,
to restamp the gages with strange and
unhandy figures, and wait until people
became accustomed to them as, for ex-
ample, to ask for a 6.35 mm. rod when
they wanted a 1-4 in. rod; or else to
change the standards so as to make them

C A N A D I A N MACHINERY

267

conform to metric units. Either horn of
the dilemma is bad, but the second one —
the changing of gages — would be calami-
tous. Some large .\merican manufac-
turers have estimated that such a change
would cost them individually from $500,-
000 to $750,000. So it is wi'th all our af-
fairs. Our entire system of manufac-
turing, of building and of doing things
is based on standard units, which can-
not be changed except under conditions
tha^ would mean nothing less than cal-
amity.

Does anybody imagine that a 2x4-in.
joist could be anything else but a 2x4,
although it might be called a 50.8x101.6
mm.; and after we were given specifica-
tions in metric measures, should we not
have to translate them back into Eng-
lish measures, in order to make use of
our tables of board measure for easy
computation ? Of course, we all know
that a 2x4 is seldom of those exact di-
mensions, and we should probably call
it a 50x100 mm. after we had learned
the rules of the new game. But some-
times it is necessary to figure closely in
connection with joists S4S, and then we
know that the 2x4 is reduced to l%x3%
in. How we should conveniently arrive
at the exact dimensions of a nominal
50x100 mm. joist deponent sayeth not.
Benefits Not Commensurate With Incon-
venience

Any change of standards in either
metric or non-metric countries is prepos-
terous, unthinkable. We have all gone
too far. Besides the colossal expense of
substituting gauges the result could not
be anything but a mixture. The man
who needed some %-in. bolts for the re-
pair of his automobile would not relish
the information that they were no longer
made, but that he could have 10 mm. or
15 mm. bolts.

Non-Metric Tables

We have volumes of tables of figures
devoted to the properties of structural
steel. Similarly as to mechanics, hy-
draulics, surveying in brief all the
branches of engineering. With the met-
ric system these would be all but use-
less. The compulsory adoption of the
metric system would be no less prepos-
terous than an edict that after a certain
date all business in the United States —
all buying and selling, all engineering,
all figures — would be illegal unless done
in French.

English Foot Greatest World Standard
The prime argument advanced for the
metric system is to have international
uniformity. It is stated that a long
•list of the countries of the world have
adopted the metric system, only the
United States, Great Britain and her
Colonies, and Russia (of the Indo-Euro-
pean nations) having failed to do so. I
have emphasized the words only and Col-
onies, for therein is concealed the spe-
ciousness of this argument. If with
"Colonies" we equate Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, Tasmania and South
Africa, we have a longer list of non-
metric countries, and it comprises not
only the most populous, but also the
most industrial nations of the world. A
con-ect statement of this theorem would

be: Considering the Indo-European race
alone, there is a much larger population
that does not use the metric system than
does; and their nations are far superior
in industrial development, measured by
iron production, let us say, to all other
nations combined. The foisting of the
metric system upon them would be,
therefore, like letting the tail wag the
dog.

If uniformity be the objective, it would
be better to institute a propaganda to in-
duce Germany, France, and the Latin
countries to adopt the English system.
In this connection is may be remarked
that, although Russia has a system dif-
ferent from either, the fundamental
Russian measure of length, which is the
most important of all measures, is the
foot, and the Russian foot is the same as
the English.

Present Tendency Toward Uniformity

Another argument on the ground of
uniformity relates to the confusion exi>'.-
ing in the English system owing to the
different kinds of tons, pounds, gallons,
etc. That there is such confusion, with
its inherent dangers, is true; but it is
also true that the confusion is much less
now than it was twenty years ago, that
it is bound to experience further reduc-
tion, and that it may be eliminated en-
tirely in a way far easier than by the in-
troduction of the metric system. In
Great Britain there is but one kind of
ton, viz., that of 2,240 lbs. In the United
States the English, or long ton, is em-
ployed to far less extent than formerly,
and in the main we have standardized the
ton of 2,000 lbs. That we should have
two pounds — the avoirdupois and the
troy — is annoying, but the annoyance h
now more academic than practical, for

metric Germany, and the quintals and
metric-quintals of Chile, than I have over
the pounds of England and America and
the poods of Russia.

The third metric argument is the ease
of the calculations, especially the cor-
relation among measures of length, vol-
ume and weight. It may freely be ad-
mitted that there is some merit in this,
but the English system is not quite help-
less in this respect; and the superior
merit of the metric system is far short of
being a determining factor, quite apart
from its calamitous effect in overthrow-
ing existing standards and upsetting the
mode of thought of the people, which, of
course, are the major considerations.

HEAT TREATMENT OF STEEL
FORGINGS

By T. E.
HEAVY steel forgings are supposed to
undergo a "normalizing" heat process
after suffering the drastic treatment in-
volved in 'bringing them to the desired
shape; but in fact the annualing temper-
atures to which they are subjected vary
greatly, being as low as 650 deg. C,
and in others as high as 927 deg. C,
and the results obtained from the forg-
ing naturally vary accordingly. Some
authorities question these temperatures
and one is told that there is little need
to trouble, as the forgings as a rule pass
test, but unfortunately forgings, ma-
chine parts of all descriptions, break
down prematurely, due to fatigue, and
it is possible to locate fatigue failures at
the manufacturer's works before such
forgings are put into service.

Unless the critical tempera+ure of 6.50
deg. C, is exceeded comparatively little

the troy pound is seldom used. Similarly
have the differences among gallons,
bushels, etc., lapsed in the main into in-
nocuous desuetude. But with respect to
confusion, the skirts of the metric sys-
tem are not clean. As a statistician of
nearly thirty years' experience I may say
that I have fallen into more errors over
the zentners and doppel-zentners of

change is effected in the structural con-
dition. A forging which has been fin-
ished at a high temperature, or parts
which have been raised to a forging
heat and have received little or no .sub^
sequent work, on cooling retain a verv
coarse structure. As an example of
what may occur if such forgings are not
properly annealed it may be mentioned

that quite recently a double intermediate
shaft actually cracked in the lathe dur-
ing the turning operation. The shaft in
question was cut through the defective
area and subjected to microscopic ex-
ination, which revealed a structui'al con-
dition not unlike that of an unannealed
steel casting. The shaft was then sub-

tural condition. This is entirely wrong,
and if it is desired to obtain the best
normal structural condition, the heat in
such forgings must be allowed first to
fall below its recalescence temperature
and then reheated somewhat above its
calescence temperature, and preferably
cooled in air.

jected to a prescribed heat treatment,
after which it was again examined, and
showed the entirely different structure
of a properly annealed forging with
nearly double the elongation, whilst
physical tests showed more than double
the area of reduction and bending angle
than were shown by the metal in its
badly annealed condition. Such cases
of inadequate annealing are found not
only in large forgings but equally the ,
whole way down the scale, even to drop
stampings.

As an example of the same thing in
smaller forgings a case may be men-
tioned -of a heavy bolt which was of a
special type and made by heating to
forging temperature for the full length
pieces of round bars and "upsetting" a
portion at one end to form the head.
These forgings were subsequently nor-
malized in heat at 677 deg. C, but when
they were subjected to a shock, it was
by no means uncommon for the head
to come off. The reason for this will
be readily understood when one exam-
ines what had taken place in the forg-
ing operation; the only portion whidi
had received any work was the material
forming the head, and where this ad-
joined the body one had two entirely
different structures. After these forg-
ings received a proper heat treatment a
uniformity in structure was obtained
together with the disappearance of any
further shelling of the head when sub-
jected to the same repeated shock stress.

A misconception more or less common
in heat treatment of steels is that full
advantage can be taken of the initial
forging heat, and that forgings or
s^^^ampings finished at a high tempera-
ture will on cooling regain a fine struc-

A GOOD deal of attention is being di-
rected at the present time to the secur-
ing of fuel economy in reheating fur-
naces at steel works and for the elimin-
ation of smoke from their operation.
For the secondary reheating of some
slabs, blooms and billets some four-^or
five times more fuel is required than for
the preparation of an ingot from hot-
open-hearth steel, and the operation, in
the case of large steel works, affords
scope for some very considerable sav-
ing. By-pro<luct gas from blast furnaces
and coke ovens is coming into increas-
ing use for the purpose; producer gas
is in some oases being substituted for
coal; and experiments are going for-
ward in some quarters with tar and
powdered coal as fuel and with crude
oil.

Even where there is no departure
from the use of coal for heating the
furnaces much experimental work is be-
ing done vdth mechanical stokers, with
a view to securing economical heating
and smokelessness. At one of the Car-
negie works a great improvement has
been made by substituting air for water
as the cooling medium for the pipes of
a flat-roofed continuous furnace and car-
rying the heated steam to the combus-
tion chamber. The cooling of the roof,
though much reduced, is still sufficient,
and the pre-heated chamber for com-
bustion is a great advantage.

The performances of different heating
furnaces as recorded over the past five
years at another works have yielded
some very interesting data. With coa!

fuel the efficiency of the furnaces (per-
centage of heat in fuel actually absorb-
ed by the steel) ranged between 13 and
15 per cent.; with natural gas average
efficiencies of 20, 27, 35, 40 and 42 per
cent., were obtained; and there were in-
dividual furnaces that averaged month
in and month out between 60 and 70
per cent. At Clairton, near Pittsburg,
Pa., the Carnegie Steel Company is now
building what will be the largest plant
of by-product ovens in the world, pro-
ducing 65,000,000 cubic feet of surplus
gas per day. This will be used for fur-
nace heating, and will give the equival-
ent of 1,600 tons of coal per day. Coke-
oven gas, after being scrubbed and
freed of its tar and light-oil vapors is
a clean fuel, and can be burtied more
easily without smoke than either raw
coal or any other gas and will furnish
a higher surface temperature than pro-
ducer gas. Where producer gas is used
for heating billets or small slabs in the
continuous type of furnace, two points
in particular have to be watched — the
gas must be supplied regularly to the
furnace, and air must be supplied at a
high temperature.

If hand-fired, hand-poked producers
are used, the gas goes to the furnace
irregularly, and at times there will be
a large surplus of gas which chokes the
furnace and makes excessive smoke.
These defects are overcome by using a
modem-type mechanically-fired and me-
chanically-poked producer; and if the
secondary air be sufficiently pre-heated,
quick and complete combustion is se-
cured in the furnace. There are regen-
erative types of continuous heating fur-
naces, in which the air is preheated to
1,000 or 1,200 deg. Fahr., and in these
all combustion takes place in the first
third of the furnace, the remaining two-
thirds being almost as clear as the out-
side air. Under such conditions there
is, of course no smoke whatever. The
elimination of smoke from coal-fired
furnaces has been secured by applying
to furnace heating the knowledge gain-
ed in the study of highly efficient boiler
firing. Mechanical under-feed stokers
are used in conjunction with forced
draught, and furnaces 70 ft. long by 20
ft. -ttiide are (being operated by these
means without smoke. In records taken
of five plate-heating furnaces and two
billet-heating furnaces equipped with
underfeed stokers, all of which were
practically smokeless some facts were
gleaned of interest.

From the billet furnaces about three
tons per hour were obtained. These fur-
naces were 26 ft. long by 7 ft. wide.
The five plate furnaces averaged 18 ft.
by 7 ft. hearth surface, and were used
for heating plates and shapes such as
were required in car construction. Smoke
rarely issued from the chimney stacks
of those seven furnaces for more than
five minutes at a time, and that very
rarely, and a uniform temperature of
2,300 deg. F., is possible at all times.

The constitution of industrial enterprise is largely depart-
mental — "spokes ni a wheel." This series of articles has for its
object the featuring in a racy, interesting and instructive fash-
ion, the training, experience and achievement of those who
to-day are transmitting, effectively, energy in their capacity as
'spokes in the wheels" of our metal-working establishments.

CHAS. W. A. MOORE.

THE successful achievement that
Canadian manufactures have at-
tained in the production of all
classes of munitions, would never have
been possible but for the able co-opera-
tion of the machine tool builder, and
those associated with that branch of the
industry that supplies the link between
the producer and the consumer; namely,
the distributors or machine tool agencies.
Prominen among: those whose efforts
have been a pillar of support to many
shell plant executives, and upon whom
much reliance has been placed for the se-
lection of suitable equipment, has been
the subject of this sketch, Charles W. A.
Moore, assistant manager of Foss &
Hill Machinery Co., of Montreal, Que.

Charlie, as he is generally called by
his more intimate friends, is a Canadian
by birth, having been born at Toronto,
Ontario, on Oct. .17, 1880, of Irish-Cana
dian parentage. When Charles was only
two years old the family removed tc
Lachute, where the boy received' his ear-
ly training, and what little education
he could acquire when not at work on the
farm. At the age of sixteen, our "Spoke"
started on his engineering career, enter-
ing the plant of the Canadian Linotype
Co., of Montreal, as an apprentice ma-
chinist. After serving most of his time
with this firm, he engaged himself as an
improver with James Cooper, machinist;
Cooper's shop, at that time, making the
machinery required for the Canadian
trade of the Ingersoll-Rand Co. From
this time until the year 1906, he was em-
ployed in various capacities with differ-
ent engineering firms in Montreal and
vicinity. For the next three years he
was foreman at the Allis-Chalmers-Bul-
lock plant, following which he accepted
the position of superintendent of the In-
ternational Steel Co., of Montreal. In
1911, he went with the Canadian Buffalo
Forge Co. as superintendent, remaining
there until 1913, afterwards becoming
associated, in a similar capacity, with
the Hall Engineering Co., of Montreal.
In 1915, he accepted a position as sales-
man with the Foss & Hill Machinery Co.,

and his present position is ample proof
of his ability and success in the selling
end.

In 1906, Mr. Moore married Maud
Earle, daughter of the late William
James Earle, of Valleyfield, P.Q. The

union having been blessed with four
children, two daughters and one son
living, and one son deceased.

The activities of the past few years have
confined our "Spoke" closely to his task
and little opportunity has been available
for relaxation. Hours of recreation, how-
ever, are necessary, and these are gener-
ally spent in lawn bowling, he being an
ardent supporter of the Outremont Bowl-
ing Club. Mr. Moore is a member of the
A. F. & A. M., and although his business
activities occupy the greater portion of
his time, he still finds it possible to take
an active interest in the Ancient Craft,
and is associated with the Blue, the Chap-
ter, the Preceptory and the Shrine.
Mr. Moore attributes much of his suc-

cess to the fact that he has devoted con-
siderable time to study. "Unless a young
man endeavors to acquire a wider knowl-
edge than that of actual contact with his
daily labor, he must of necessity drift
along with the tide; the great need of the
present day is for men who are not only
capable of successfully accomplishing
what is required of them, but who are
willing (by hard work) to cultivate that
faculty of observation and application,
that will better fit them for the larger
opportunities that arise daily. They
should keep in close touch with their
particular line of business, making them-
selves conversant by practical observa-
tion or by published m-ediums, of the
many developments that are continual-
ly taking place throughout the trade.
Big things are only possible by those who
are ready to accept and able to fulfil the
larger responsibilities."

DEVELOP BRITISH MINES

THE development of the mineral re
sources of Great Britain and Ireland, now
being undertaken by a department of
the Ministry of Munitions, under the di-
rection of Sir Lionel Phillips, is likely to
lead to far-reaching results. Sir Lionel
Phillips is well known for his life's work
in developing the mineral resources of
South Africa, and is bringing his knowl-
edge and experience to his task. A num-
ber of engineers of outstanding ability
and position are also assisting the efforts
of the department, and already consid-
erable work has been done in furthering
war purposes.

Control Wolfram Mines

Steps are being taken to control and
expand wolfram mines, from which it is
expected to produce a home supply of
tungsten powder, an essential ingredient
in the manufacture of high-speed steel.
A complete survey of the lead resources
of the country is also being carried out;
new sources of supply being investigat-
ed and old working reopened. In one in-
stance steps have been taken to assist in
the drainage and development of an im-
portant lead mine from which there is a
prospect of an immediate increased out-
put.

Other Developments

Action is also being taken with regard
to the production of zinc. A sulphur
pyrites mine has been acquired, and cer-
tain low-grade copper deposits of con-
siderable extent and promise are being
carefully watched with a view to giving
assistance in their working.

In the course of its immediate opera-
tions the department is gaining valuable
information which will allow it to offer
future suggestions as to the prospect of
the normal base metal industry of the
United Kingdom. It will also be enabled
to report on the relative cost of home
production against importation, and to
advise as to the placing of the industry
in the best position to meet emergencies.

Influence of RecentDevelopments on Apprenticeship Training

By Neil J. Maclean

The apprenticeship question is a live issue in British Industrial circles at all times, and
ichile it has long been a subject of controversy between employers and employees, indications
abound, in view of the utterances of numerous important officials, that the apprentice of the
future will he trained and appreciated as an essential factor totvards national industrial suc-
cess. Plans for future activity in Canada m>i,st include a consideration of this subject.

AMONG the many problems con-
nected with the engineering in-
dustry upon which experience
gained during the war has shed fresh
light, is that of the workshop training
of apprentices, and with a view to pro-
moting a clearer understanding of its
different aspects I set forth my views
below in a series of axioms, supported
by some notes on the application of
these axioms to a system of apprentice
training, as worked out in detail in the
factory with which I am connected. The
more advanced training, which should
include a university engineering course,
is not dealt with, .as this must necessar-
ily be planned on different lines through-
out; only the regular workshop training
which will enable a man to qualify as
a skilled workman, a draughtsman, or a
junior shop executive — foi'eman, under-
foreman, inspector, etc. — is under con-
sideration.

It will make a good starting-point in
trying to sort out one's thoughts on this
subject, to remember that the raw ma-
terial in question, when we begin work
with him, is the boy, a wayward, un-
stable, light-hearted, elder child, a
dreamer of dreams, eager, easily inter-
ested and easily tired; that during his
period of training he passes through the
critical point of development from boy
to man, at about the age of eighteen;
that we are dealing with man in his
seedtime, and, hence, largely according
to our sowing so shall the reaping be;
and that the habits that are formed dur-
ing this period will have a determining
influence on the character developed dur-
ing later years.

Among the habits that will most sure-
ly promote his success later on is the
habit of industry, of steady, constant
and intelligent labour, and this brings
me to the statement of my first axiom:
The aprentice must be always busy. It
sounds simple and looks obvious, but in
practice it is a condition neither easy to
bring about nor to maintain. To begin
with, the boy altogether lacks skill and
must be shown how to do his work;
this occupies the time and attention of
a trained man; work suitable to his in-
experience must be found for him; his
interest in this work, easily roused, is
easily tired, while his ingenuity — when
tired of the job — in escaping from con-
trol is ever alert and watchful of its
opportunity. And yet if, during his
training, there are frequent spells of idle
time, the habit of industry has but a
poor chance to form itself, and if not

eering," London.

formed then, permanent harm to the
boy's character must sjrely result.

The requirements of industry are
growing more exacting, more complex;
there is more ground to cover before
one can be considered trained, even in a
single department of the many trades
comprehended within the term "en-
gineering;" for the apprentice there is,
therefore, much to learn, a wide coun-
try to explore. This brings me to my
second axiom: The apprentice must be
always learning.. He must be taught
to do a certain thing properly and must
then be moved on to a different kind of
work. , The thing he is given to do first
must fee easier to learn than what fol-
lows. In this way confidence in his
ability- to perform specified tasks will
gradually be acquired, whilst the range
of the idiflferent kinds of work with
which he is intimately familiar will be
steely widened. At the same time, by
ensuring a sufficient variety in the work,
attention and interest are maintained;
for it must be repeated with insistence,
a boy's interest is easily tired, and if
lest, mischief is an inevitable result.

The engineer of a century ago was an
empiricist, a cut-and-try man. He de-
p9nded almost entirely on his previous
practical experience; he worked to
sketches, simple drawings, or models. If
his first attempt to get a certain result
did not succeed, he felt his way forward
gropingly by practical experiments to a
more successful conclusion. It is differ-
ent to-day. Now he must appreciate ex-
actness in size; he must easily read com-
plicated drawings; he must be able to
think in three dimensions, and have some
knowledge of physics and chemistry;
which brings me to my third axiom:
Engineering is an exact science, and the
apprentice must develop the scientific
mind.

I use the term "engineer" in its broad-
est sense throughout, not limiting it to
the director of great enterprises, the
executive in charge of factories, or the
workman actually carrying out a given
task. Of course the training given to a
group of boys in anv workshop will vary
individually to suit their prospective
positions, but the fundamental princi-
ples are common to all, and if these are
not understood and observed, successful
results cannot be expected.

During apprenticeship the schoolboy
of from fifteen to seventeen years of
age must be turned into a young man
able to think exactly, to observe accur-
ately, and to note down clearly his re-
sults. He must develop the quantita-
tive sense, the ability to appreciate in-

stantly and without conscious effort the
magnitude of the quantities he is at the
moment dealing with. To obtain such a
result the training must involve an in-
timate mingling of practical and
theoretical work, of shop experience and
study, of things seen and done, things
noted and written down.

Now, it must never be lost sight of
that since an apprentice is trained in a
workshop or factory whose business it
is to make things for sale, he is hedged
round with commercial conditions and
considerations which may conflict with
the requirements of his training. A
nice balance must be struck between
interests which will not always or obvi-
ously work together for a common end;
and long views of what will ultimately
benefit the firm, or the trade, or the
naiion, must be considered along with
the more immediate needs of factory
output and organisation; in view of
which we arrive at my fourth axiom:
The apprentice's course of training must
not be determined by the shop foreman
or manager responsible for output. If
it is, then considerations of output will
weigh too heavily and the apprentice
will not get the variety of experience
which is essential to fulfil axioms (2)
and (3). A member of the firm having
authority must determine the course of
training of each apprentice in detail and
must ruthlessly override' any objection
to necessary changes advanced by de-
partment foremen on the grounds of
interference with output. This condi-
tion is more imperative as industry be-
comes specialised and departments more
highly organised, so that variety of ex-
perience within any one department is
more and more curtailed.

We have heard and read much re-
cently of the ca' canny policy, of its
m'staken basis and its harmful results.
It is chiefly founded upon the idea that
there is not enough work to go round.
The trade unionist knows that fellow-
mem.bers are out of work; therefore,
says he, "I will do a little less and
some of them will get a job." But this
line of reasoning is not confined to the
trade unionist; it crops up in other
forms among other classes. The edu-
cated man says to himself, if too many
highly educated men are turned out,
there won't be enough comfortable
berths for us all. Ergo, says he, put the
brake on the education wheel: avast
there, turning out too many B. Sc.'s. I
think I have even read leading articles
in the engineering journals voicing this
view in more polished phrases. Now,
the prinicple on which this conclusion

271

is based has been thrown on the scrap
heap. Let us make sure that the differ-
ent conclusions themselves find their
way to the same well-merited destina-
tion; which leads me to my fifth axiom:
There cannot be too many highly train-
ed apprentices.

There must always be forces at work
that will keep back some of the starters
from being finishers; ill-health, family
trouble interfering with apprenticeship,
decay of ambition, these will interfere
with the successful completion of train-
ing- courses in many cases. Against
these, employers must always pit all the
forces and influences at their command
to turn out as many highly trained,
highly educated apprentices as they
possibly can, confident that the supply
cannot outrun the demand. The more
that are turned out, the more useful
energy and creative force has been
added to the nation's stock.

The industrial lesson of the past two
years that has bitten most deeply into
thoughtful minds, I think, is this — that,
given good executive direction, high-
class work can be turned out by com-
paratively untrained labor. But the
executives must be good, very good.
Now, the training that is required by a
good engineering executive is so elabor-
ate, thorough and comprehensive, that it
cannot begin too early, or be too care-
fully planned and directed; which en-
ables me to state my sixth and last
axiom: Special training must be given
to those apprentices who show marked
ability.

A reasonable time after starting work
must elapse before selection is possible;
then some form of thorough test .should
be applied to divide the apprentices
into those who can be expected only
to turn into competent workers and
those who may one day take the lead and
rise to responsible positions. Opportun-
ities of specially varied training and of
higher study in connection with it can
then be provided for the selected boys,
with confidence that such facilities will
not be wasted.

Having examined some of the funda-
mental principles that must underlie any
system of training for apprentices to the
mechanical trades and reduced these to
simple axiomatic form, it may be of in-
terest if their working out, as applied
to a particular factory, is described in
some detail. Such a system of appren-
ticeship has been umlar trial in the works
of Barr and Stroud, Limited, Glasgow,
for the past 12 years, a period long
enough to enable an opinion to be
formed of its results. A large number
of apprentices have graduated under it
and have proved themselves able to do
g-ood work in other factories in this
country and abroad, while the junior
executive positions throughout the fac-
tory are now in many cases filled by
men trained under the system.

At the present time over ,300 appren-
tices are employed, engaged in all
branches of the fine mechanical trades,
fitting, machining, tool-making, elec-
trical engineering, pattern-making,

moulding, joiner-work, instrument-mak-
ing, and optical prism polishing. Ap-
prenticeship is for five years, commenc-
ing at fiftten or sixteen years of age.
The boys are not indentured, but they
are expected to spend the full training
period with the firm. No boys not ap-
prenticed are employed.

Considering the axioms in order, the
first — that an apprentice must always
be busy — is not easily reduced to any
definite rules; it depends largely on the
general atmosphere throughout the
shops. The pratice is closely followed
that at each stage of training, a boy is
under the supervision of a man expert
in his own branch of the trade, whose
duty it is definitely to show the boy how
to do the work, and also to see that he
is kept constantly employed. Where
difficulty is me' with in developing in a
boy a habit of steady work, special steps
to overcome it are taken. He is put on
to work in which the day's task can be
very exactly measured and his perform-
ance closely watched. This is not done
only in a disciplinary spirit, as it must
be clearly recognised that if a worker
in the mechanical trades fails to acquire
habits of regular industry, he can never
earn any useful place for himself in
organised industrial work.

The second axiom — that an apprentice
must always be learning — is applied by
arranging in sequence a series of difl'er-
ent kinds of operations which he suc-
cessively undertakes, commencing with
the simplest. A change of work is ar-
ranged for about once every six months.
During the first half of apprenticeship
the training for most of the trades fol-
lows the same general lines, including
fitting and machining; during the sec-
ond half of the training each apprentice
specialises in his own particular craft.
Pattern-makers spend some months in
the foundry, opticians some months in
the machine shop, and so on. A spe-
cial feature is made of the fourth-year
training for instrument-makers, which
is carried on under a qualified instruc-
tor, the work consisting as far as pos-
sible of the building of complete instru-
ments of odd types.

The fourth year of any system of
training is, I think, the critical period.
It coincides with that difficult age when
a boy is unsettled, whimsical, discon-
tented, groping about uncertainly in
search of the larger powers and respon-
sibilities of manhood. It often happens,
too, to be the time at home when the
difficulty which his parents find in sup-
porting him at a comparatively low
wage presses hardest; he is still earn-
ing little and the end of his training
period seems a long way off. His early
interest in the work may have flagged,
while he is still not master enough of
his trade to find pleasure in working at
it. For these reasons I think the fourth-
year apprentice should receive particu-
lar attention. Care should be taken to
make the work as interesting as pos-
sible, to appeal to his growing sense of
craftsmanship by varied and carefully
selected work, to see that he works

under a wise and competent guide who
will watch for signs of insubordination
and deal with these in a proper and un-
derstanding spirit.

The third axiom — that engineering is
an exact science — is applied by bringing
all possible pressure to bear on the boys
to attend regularly suitable techhital
classes in the evenings. As the day'S;
work does not begin till eight o'clock
there is less objection — if, indeed, there
is any at all — to the boys being ex-
pected to study at night than in cases
where the work starts at six or six-
thirty. Each apprentice is interviewed
by the manager at the beginning of the
evening class session, and the classes he
decides to attend are entered on a card.
The school is notified, and if he fails to
enrol the matter is dealt with as a
breach of condition of apprenticeship.
An increase of pay from 6d. to 2s. per
week is granted for evening class at-
tendance, graduated in accordance with
the record of work done. Early leave to
attend classes is arranged for when nec-
essary, and in no ease is an apprentice
allowed to work late in the factory on
one of his class nights. It has not been
found possible even with this consider-
able amount of persuasion and insistence
to induce more than about 70 per cent,
of the number of apprentices in the fac-
tory each year to attend evening classes
regularly. Sickness, home disabilities,
and temperamental repugnance to any
form of book-work prove too great ob-
stacles to the remaining 30 per cent.

The fourth axiom — that the appren-
tice's training must not be determined by
the foreman — is met by all changes of
apprentices from one stage to the next
being arranged for by the works
manager. A list of these changes is sent
to the department foremen about once a
fortnight, and must be given effect to
forthwith, no matter at what inconveni-
ence to the work in hand. It is neces-
sary to be explicit on this point, as
otherwise the competent boy will be
kept on one kind of work, to the detri-
ment of his all-round training. In ar-
ranging for a change of work regard is
had, of course, to the boy's special apti-
tude, more particularly in the later
sta<res of training; and there is no ob-
jection to the foreman giving boys spe-
cial experience of particular machines or
processes when opportunity offers, with-
out receiving instructions to do so. The
danger to guard against and overcome
is the reluctance of those in charge of
the work to make changes which ad-
vance the boy's training, but at a tem-
porary cost in output. This reluctance
can only be overcome by the issue of
definite instructions from headquarters.

The fifth axiom — that there cannot be
too many highly-trained apprentices — is
certainly true in my experience. The
tendency to settle down, to give up any
definite attempt to make progress, mani-
fests itself early in the life of very many
young men, and I do not thing that the
most strenuous efforts to persuade
larger numbers to steadily advance
themselves in knowledge and experience

wiJl ever produce more than — or even as
many as — there are vacancies waiting
for them to fill. It may happen at times
that a number of ambitious and capable
young men finish their training to-
gether, and they may think themselves
that there is not a good prospect of their
finding scope for their abilities, but it
is a temporary effect, and the average
over a period of years certainly proves,
I think, that the demand for highly
trained men is well ahead of the sup-
ply-

The sixth axiom — that special train-
ing must be given to the more able — is,
I think, worth particularly careful
study. It is met in the factory by a
selective annual examination in sub-
jects relating to shop practice, the re-
sult of which is combined with the re-
sult of evening class attendance, with
timekeeping in the works, and with a
report on conduct submitted by the
shop foreman. Every quality of the
boy's ability and character is therefore
included in determining his place in the
list which is prepared of those having
the promise of executive ability. Ap-
prentices who win a place on this list are
promoted to the drawing office, are given
four hours' day tuition during working
hours in the winter months, and are put
through a wider practical training in
the factory. In certain cases they re-
ceive a set of tools, which becomes their
own on completion of apprenticeship.
Since it is felt that to take full advant-
age of this training a good day-school
education is essential to start with, the
firm have recently instituted scholarships
to enable boys to attend a suitable course
of instruction for one year at a second-
ary school before starting their work-
shop training. It is hoped that by this
means it will be possible to ensure that
every boy will haVe spent at least one
year in a secondary school before com-
mencing his apprenticeship.

In conclusion I may express the hope
that these propositions and the short
description of their application to one
particular factory may be of use to those
who just now are considering the ques-
tion of the higher training of their ap-
prentices, a question among the most
important in relation to that general in-
dustrial betterment which we hope may
result from the many changes of these
troubled times.

TURBINE SPEEDS AND
APPLICATIONS
By T. J.
IN the earlier stages of its development
the steam turbinei was considered in
many quarters to hold great possibilities,
not so much from high epxectations of
thermal efficiency, as by reason of an as-
sumption that it must prove an ideal
prime mover for coupling to electric gen-
erators in power stations and propeller
shafts in steamships. But mechanical
arrangements seldom work out in prac-
tice along the line of the ideally simple
and direct; and the speed of the large
turbine units now in use has proved to
be too high to permit of the satisfactory

direct coupling of turbines either to pro-
peller shafts or to generators.

Turbine speeds can, of course, be re-
duced by increasing the size of the motor,
but only at the price of greater weight,
higher initial cost and reduced efficiency;
and consequently the present trend in
both electrical and marine engineering is
all in the direction of introducing some
form of reduction gear between the tur-
bine and the propeller shaft or generator.
The difficulty confronting the marine
engineer is that the most efficient speed
for a screw propeller is only about a
quarter or a fifth of the most efficient
speed of a steam turbine, and if he de-
cides upon reduction gear his choice is
between helical gearing, electric reduc-
tion drive and hydraulic reduction drive.
The power station engineer is up against
the fact that a direct-current generator
running at 2,500 or 3,000 rev. per min. is
subject to commutator troubles which, in
spite of many ingenious devices, such as
the radial commutator, are not easily
overcome; so that a 5,000 kilowatt set in
a single machine appears to be the limit
for safe and efficient operation with a di-
rect coupled turbo-generator.

If a larger power from one set is re-
quired, resort must be made to one of
two alternatives. The first is to use a
turbo-alternator, running at 3,000 or
3,600 revolutions per minute, in conjunc-
tion with a rotary converter. This forms
a combination which, in certain cases,
has distinct advantages.

This combination is particularly suit-
able when direct-current power must be
supplied to several points some distant
apart, when the transmission losses and
cost of mains can be kept to a minimum
by generating at a moderate or high
voltage, and transforming down at the
sub-station where the rotaries are in-
stalled. In many instances direct cur-
rent is essential for a part of the system
only, while the remainder can be served
more efficiently by an alternating supply,
a case for which the rotary converter
plant is peculiarly suitable. With such a
mixed system of distribution the rotary
has the further advantage that it can be
inverted, taking direct current from sets
with which it works in parallel, or from
a battery, and supplying alternating cur-
rent into the mains, thus helping out the
alternating current sets in case of a
breakdown. A further advantage arises
if there is a linking up of several gen-
erating stations, because small direct
current stations will receive alternating
current from the trunk mains and con-
vert it into direct current by means of a
rotary, thus having their main-turbo-
altemator sets as a stand-by; whereas,
in the case of either the direct connected
or geared direct-current generator, it will
be necessary to use rotaries.

The other alternative is to use double
helical turbine gearing to reduce the
speed of the turbine to that most suitable
for an engine type direct-current genera-
tor; the speed of the former is usually
between 3,000 and 4,000 revolutions per
minute for units of moderate size. The
turbo-alternator rotary plant does not
suffer from the limitation in desirable
size which applies to direct coupling, and

also, to a lesser degree, to the use of
mechanical reducing gears.

SEEKING to imitate klingerite, a Ger-
man packing for steam-pipe joints,
French chemists have found a specimen
of the material about a sixth of an inch
thick to consist of fifteen thicknesses
of thin asbestos, says the Chemical
Trade Journal. These layers were a
compact felting of the best long fibres,
mixed with 2 per cent, of flax threads
to give strength and pliability, and each
side was coated wath an agglutinant
containing sulphur, designed, it is sup-
posed to increase impermeability and
resistance by slow vulcanisation. Analy-
sis showed 80.5 per cent, of asbestos, 2.2
of cellulose (flax), and 17 of rubber and
balata, with a small proportion of sul-
phur.

IN his annual report on the trade of
Denmark, the U. S. Consul-General re-
marks that the chief hindrance to the in-
dustrial development of that country
has been the lack of coal deposits. Den-
mark produces no coal, and is, therefore,
placed at a competitive disadvantage.
The country's industries and railways
consume annually about 3,000,000 tons,
most of which comes from England and
Germany. A Danish syndicate was
formed in 1916 to investigate and ex-
ploit the coalfields of Iceland, a report
of which has already appeared in The
Syren and Shipping. During the past
two years it was hoped to purchase coal
from the United States, but freight
rates prevented this being done. — Syren

THE demonstrated advantages of elec-
tric motor drive as applied to steel mill
service are rapidly making its use uni-
versal in rolling mill work, while as re-
gards reversing mills, substantial evi-
dence of the exceptional superiority of
electric drive has been given during the
past two years. Less than two years ago
there were two electrically-driven re-
versing mills operating in the United
States and one in Canada. In November-
1916, there were fifteen mills of this type
either in operation or being constructed,
whilst in Britain, according to the
"British Westinghouse Gazette," there
were two.

VERY good results are said to have been
attained in the experimental manufac-
ture of square and bar steel, etc., at the
Kawasaki Dockyard Company's branch
factory at Hyogo, where two 15-ton
smelting furnaces were installed last
year. Encouraged by these results, the
company has decided to establish a steel
works on an extensive scale for the
manufacture of steel plates and rails.
According to "Eastern Engineering," a
suitable site is being sought in Fukuoka
Prefecture, Kyushu. When the site is
fixed, a large works, with five 30-ton
smelting furnaces to besrin with, will be
erected on a capital of 5,000,000 yen, for
manufacturing steel plates, rails, square
and bar steel, etc., the same as the Gov-
ernment Steel Works at Edamitsu.

Engineering Exhibits at the Canadian National Exhibition

again jvstified by a visit to the Machinery Hall, irhilr nvij dovhfx regarding the mechanifica-
tion of the farmer are instantly dispelled by an e.nuninnt'nni <if fnu-tm-a, el-ectric light plants,

It is of especial interest at this time to
know thp.t tiiis alloy is made in Canada
in the Hoskins factory, an important part
of the process being played by a special
type of carbon resistance furnace which
is also exhibited. Its simplicity of con-
struction and efficiency of operation ren-
der it particularly useful in high temper-
ature work.

DESPITE the absence of a few not-
able exhibitors of former years,
the engineering features of the ex-
hibition, both in the Machinery Hall and
elsewhere, have aroused probably a more
wide-spread interest than for many years
past. The fact that many people, brought

developments largely due to the recent
munitions activity are indicated by
several of the exhibits. One of these is
the increasing appreciation of the benefits
of heat treatment in certain classes of
work, and in this field much initiative has
been displayed by the Canadian Hoskins

in contact with engineering practice
through the temporary activity of muni-
tions production, are now earnestly en-
deavoring to find a permanent outlet for
their efforts is one, if not the main reason
for the great general interest displayed by
visitors this year.

Present conditions, of course, have post-
poned any improvement in the facilities
afforded exhibi ors, but had proper and
deserved encouragement been given in a
timely manner, the machinery display
would not be handicapped by comparison
with certain annual events in the States,
which are noted for the facilities offered
exhibitors in such important matters as
steam, gas, air and electricity supply, es-
pecially in the matter of reasonable
charges for the latter service. As matters
are now, it is onlv through the loyalty and
patriotism of exhibitors, who annually
face the expense and inconvenience of two
weeks' dislocation of regular business,
that the standard of the show has been
maintained at its present level. In view
of the services rendered to the Empire,
and the great degree of confidence with
which the industry is regarded as a main-
stay of the country in the future, no ex-
cuse short of absolute lack of funds can
justify a continuance of the present luke-
warm attitude of the authorities toward
engineering exhibitors. The thanks of the
industry are indeed due to those who con-
tinue to "carry on."

The general state of affairs is indicated
by one noticeable change in the aspect of
the show — munitions have disappeared
and manufactures are returhing. Machine
tools are the heavyweights, as always, but

Co., the well known pioneers in electrical
furnace and pyrometer development.
Their product now includes also gas-fired
furnaces, ovens for enamelling, etc., and
a unique product in the shape of Chromel,
a non-ferrous alloy, which possesses
marked non-corrosive properties, especi-
ally under the influence of heat. These
properties are due to the high melting
point of chromium combined with the great
resistance of nickel to oxidization. This
metal does not soften appreciably under
heat like iron and has a life approximately
40 times as long. Applications already
proven include carbonizing boxes, cyanide
crucibles, lead pots, barium pots, pyro-
meter protecting tubes, etc.

Further interest in the combustion field
is stimulated by the extensive display of
manufacturers furnaces exhibited by the
Consumers' Gas Co. of Toronto. Appar-
atus and equipment for the convenient
use of gas as a heat-producing agent in
many lines of industry are shown in oper-
ation, gas and air being piped to most of
the exhibits. High temperature furnaces
for special steel hardening, tool room fur-
naces, ovens, brazing benches and blow
pipes demonstrate clearly the adaptability
of gas to many processes. The effect of
several furnaces at white heat is very
marked from a display viewpoint, the en-
tire exhibited being markedly effective.

Of similar interest to visitors is the de-
monstrations of oxy-acetylene welding
work. L'Air Liquide Society show the use
of their apparatus in the manufacture of
storage tanks for acetylene gas, to with-
stand 975 lbs. pressure per sq. in. A
samnle of liquid air, which is produced
during the manufacture of oxygen was
an item of more than ordinary interest,
in which one could test the effects of 350
deg. below zero on the human flesh. Me-
chanical apparatus for the application of
the oxv-acetylene flame to manufacturing
onerations were featured by the Carter
Welding Co., who showed the well known
Davis-Bournonville apparatus cutting
steel plates of any thickness and shape.

on lai'ge or small scales, the flame cutting
the outline as determined by the master
design; the roughing out of dies and simi-
lar work is a particularly useful field for
this flevice.

Special appeal is made to the skilled
mechanic and fine tool maker by the Pratt
& Whitney exhibit of Canadian-made
cutters, reamers, taps, drills, shell tools
and special articles of a similar nature.
The prestige attached to the name is well
upheld by this exhibit, which is convinc-
ing evidence of the possibility of produc-
ing such goods on a commercial scale
within the Dominion. Complementary to
the foregoing are the machine tool exhibits
of Canada Machinery Corporation, Gar-
lock-Walker Machinery Co. and A. R.
Williams Co. Both wood and metal-work-
ing machines are displayed on a large
scale by the former, whose annual appeai'-
ance is looked forward to with interest by
a wide circle of acauaintances. A fea-
ture of Garlock-Walker is the showing
of numerous views in lantern slide form,
illustrating iron machinery from the raw
state to the finished product. The entire
history of iron is shown from the blast-
ing of the rock bv the miners, through
railroad yards, ore docks, blast furnaces,

steel mills and foundries, pattern shops
and machine shops till it assumes the form
of a lathe, shaper or other machine tool,
and demonstrates most convincingly the
absolute dependability of modern manu-
facturing on this one metal more than any
other. Suitable types of modern tools
are on view to complete the exhibit.

A feature of the Williams exhibit is the
demonstration of Stellite cutting tools on
heavy forgin^' machining. This wonder
ful alloy depends for its existence entirely
on the Canadian deposits of cobalt, and
during recent times has earned a wonder-
ful reputation as a metal-cutting material.
Numerous samples showing its applica-
tion to tools for a wide range of operations
are displayed by the Deloro Smelting &
Refining Co. ^}-

Pneumatic tools and accessories possess
considerable interest in view of their
labor-saving and cost-reducing ability.
The development of shipbuilding both in
wood and steel h^s been carefullv studied
by the Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co., and
special wood-horing machines and drifting
hammers are featured by them in addition
to their latest types of regular hammers
and accessories.

Transmission equipment and apparatus
is featured by the Dodge line, one of the
items of interest being an exhibit showing
their wood pulley in different stages of
construction, from the plain board of
selected lumber to the
perfectly finished wood-
split pulley seen on the
shafting. Ball bearing
developments are also
well shown, the increas-
ing recognition of this
apparatus as an effi-
ciency factor being evi-
denced by the presence
of the Canadian SKF
Co., Ltd., which makes
a convincing demonstra-
tion of the extreme ac-
curacy and high grade
of workmanship in their
product. The exclusive
feature of self-align-
ment which is an in-
herent part of the de-
sign is shown by means of bent shafts,
which revolve as freely in a fan draft as
if they were straight and true. The
Chapman Co. makes an effective display

Belting exhibits are quite noticeable
especially as most of the displays repre-
sent made in Canada goods. Of the four
firms showing, each makes a distinctive
type of product. Leather, rubber, and
two varieties of stitched belting are
available in weights, strengths, and fin-
ish for any kind of industrial need.
Considerable local interest attaches to
the two displays of .that modern develop-
ment of the saw bench known as the
combination woodworker, one firm in
particular having developed considerable
business across the line.

Agricultural Enginering

Either engineers or farmers desirous
of investingating farm apparatus which
is the direct product of the machine shop
find more than ample opportunity in the
section devoted to this display. The
present question of food control has
thrown the production end further into
the spotlight than might have happened
in years, and the fierce blaze of criticism
is turned loose on the numerous speci-
mens of tractors, oil engines, pumps,
electric lighting plants, along with other
quas'-machine shop products .such as

milking machines, and similar products.
As a Canadian built product, the
Sawyer-Massey line of tractors makes
a special appeal. Simplicity of construc-
tion has been combined with convenience
and efficiency of operation in a markedly
successful degree. The 4 cyl. vertical
automobile type of motor is placed near
the rear axle to give maximum adhesion,
and allows the transmission case and
jack-shaft to be placed amidship in a
most accessible position. The clutch
likewise benefits thereby, while the train
of reducing gears to the driving wheels
is also made very accessible. Approved
design of steering gear with spring buf-
fers is fitted to front wheels. Water
cooling with fan radiator is incorporated
in the design in a suitable manner the
radiator construction being exception-
ally robust. The motor is 4 in. bore by
6 in. stroke running 700 to 1,000 rev. per
min., and gives 22 horse power at 'the
belt pulley and 12 at the draw bar.
Two speeds of 2% and 3% miles per

hour are provided, while weight of 5,200
lbs. enables three to four plows to be
operated.

Allis-Chalmers are
showing a 10-18 horse-
power machine of the
three wheeled type, the
single front wheel fol-
lowing the furrow auto-
matically and relieving
the operator of much of
the steering effort. It
is operated by a 2 cyl.
opposed type motor, 5%
by. 7 inch at 720 rev. per
min. and weighs 4,800
lbs. The frame is a one-
piece steel casting,
heat treated, while the
radiator is of the auto-
mobile type with centri-
fugal pump.

The 9-18 lease trac-
tor was shown by the Faii-banks-
Morse Co., and attracted attention

through its compact design and won-
derful hill climbing ability demon-
strated on a 35 deg. incline. As illus-
trated the motor which is 8 cyl. vertical,
is placed athwartships so as to obtain
straight spur drive to rear axle. The
front axle is pivoted vertically at the
centre, with steering knuckles on the
wheels. A truck type of radiator is
fitted in conventional manner and has
gear driven fan, and centrifugal pump
circulation. Heavy duty roller bearings
are used wherever desirable, including
the transmission, and rear axle, and an
oil tight housing encloses the bull pin-
ion and gear. Two speeds are obtainable,
along with ample power to pull two 14
in. plows.

SKILLED MECHANICS A POST-WAR NECESSITY

THERE is a growing disposition to recognize that the
peace-time essential of this or any other manufac-
turing country will be its muster of skilled mechan-
ics. Shell-making has not, as is perhaps too generally
believed, contributed materially to Canada's pre-war quota
of the latter for, with the exception of a fair percentage
increase, comparatively, in the ranks of her tool-makers
and equipment designei-s, the abnormal activity of the
past thirty months has done little more than demonstrate
the possibility of rapidly training as attendants men who
to all intents and purposes were in the rough so far as
machine tool operating knowledge was concerned.

Shell manufacture was highly specialized, but in the
nature of things was quite temporary in character. Urg-
ency of production by the most direct means available was
the keynote of the whole enterprise, as a consequence
little opportunity was afforded for a widespread develop-
ment in the training of expert mechanics, men who in the
coming time would give our metal-working industries the
degree of backbone and vigor w'hich will undoubtedly be
required if we are to procure and maintain a foothold in
the world's markets. With the cessation of shell-making,
attention is naturally being focussed on lines of product
that will provide capacity activity for our now enlarged
plant establishment, while giving at the same time assur-
ance of there being retained in steady and continuous em-
ployment the skilled men now possessed, as well as pro-
viding opportunity for materially supplementing their
numbers.

It should be borne in mind that, despite the war activi-
ties now so pronounced in the United States, and those no
less in evidence in Great Britain and elsewhere, the keen-
est interest is being displayed in the matter of post-war
trade preparedness, and that recognition as never before
is being taken of the thoroughly trained and expert me-
chanic as the principal factor in the conditions with which
we will be confronted. As an indication of how the sub-
ject is viewed in the Old Country, the following para-
graphs culled from a recent editorial in our contemporary.
Engineering, may not be without interest to our metal-
working plant executives:

;_The deficient supply of skilled men is acutely realized

and is exercising the minds of all who employ mechanics.

A man having the mentality, dexterity and character

taken for granted or implied in the term skilled mechanic,,
or competent all-round craftsman, is prima facie a com-
petent individual in a much wider manner than in a purely
trade sense.

Natural aptitude, large mentality, resource, initiative,
grit, character — all matters which make a man worthy of
respect — are the inalienable possession of the man who
becomes an expert mechanic.

Good mechanics were never plentiful, but present-day
conditions have separated all men into two classes, those
having skill and those without. Consequently, there has.
been a remarkable appreciation in value, the intrinsic
worth of real skill has never been so realized as now. It
is contended that, unless steps are taken to enable men La
acquire real skill, invention will be paralyzed, improve-
ment will be forfeited, and business some time or other will
have to be rebuilt upon its old foundations.

How can we have mechanics unless we deliberately set
out to produce them. Modern tendency is to commit indus-
trial suicide. There are two outputs going on simultane-
ously from any business, products and men; the former
earns profits, the latter serve a national as well as an in-
dustrial end. Plant can be extemporized more rapidly
than skill, but if the result is to materially reduce the pro-
duction of skilled craftsmen, then the industry must ulti-
mately be penalized.

Academic training alone is no substitute, since it can-
not produce the practical man of experience nor can it
give manual dexterity of a high order. If the industry
takes no steps to foster one of the most inherent of human
desires — skill in the use of tools — it is going to decay and
not to progress. Moreover, the nation which does not
produce skilled craftsmen is going to forfeit industrial
pre-eminence.

CONSTRUCTIVE DISCONTENT

PROGRESS is only possible where the spirit of dis-
satisfaction prevails; not the dissatisfaction that
tends to indifference to or breeds irritation with
conditions or environment, but that feeling of discontent
that haunts and impresses the mind with the thought that
one is not living up to and making the most of the oppor-
tunities that arise from day to day. Knowledge is acquired
when we begin to study the why and the wherefore of our
surroundings. Gravitation was realized long before New-
ton appeared on the scene, but it was to the fact that he
was not content to take the falling of an apple as a mere
incident that resulted in the establishment of the law
which defines to us the attraction of the earth for other
and smaller bodies.

Discoveries are seldom a matter of chance; they are
more often the culmination of many weary hours, or per-
haps days and weeks of ceaseless thought and observation.
It is unquestionably true that worth-while achievements
are the work of a few individuals; these and these only
being responsible for the various departures from time-
worn precedents.

Despite the fact that all are endowed with the same
faculties, the great majority are content and willing that a
few only shall develop these faculties to the point where
an enlarged imagination becomes the source of dissatis-
faction that eventually results in the attainment of ideals
which are the foundation stones of success. The man who
is content with his present condition has lost all initiative.
Breaking new ground, as it were, is expressive of dis-
content, with things as they are. When uneasiness of
mind is of a constructive nature, the consequence cannot
be other than progressive; on the other hand, dissatisfac-
tion that hinges on indifference is destructive and an
obstacle to progress rather than otherwise.

The General Market Condition and Tendency

IVrOW that the iminitiini:^ industry i.- definitely coming to an
end. the engineering trade enters on a period of readjustment.
Concerns hitherto engaged in manufacturing munitions are turn-
ing their attention to other work and in some cases have aheady
licen successful, particularly in the introduction of marine engine.-;.
This field of activity is necessarily limited, hut will serve to relieve
the situation to some e.xtent. No developments have materialized
in the iron and steel trade and the outlook continues sontewhat
unsettled on account of the embargo and also because of the
uncertainty .surrounding the price-fixing policy of the United
States Government. It is believed that an announcement will be
made at Wa.shington in the near future. Prices of steel product-;
are showing a weaker tendency, although the only important
decline so far has been in semi-finished material. This, however,
foreshadows reces.'^ions in other line.*. The domestic pig-iron
situation continues unchanged, the market still being unsettled
and quotations practically nominal. In the States the pig-iron
market is somewhat easier in spite of the continued heavy demand.
The coke market is unsettled, owing to the po.ssibility of Govern-
ment control. Prices in the meantime are holding firm and the
output is increa.'^ing in voluine. The non-ferrous metal markets
are dull and featureless, due to the uncertain outlook. Consumers
continue to show lack of interest in the market in view of possible
price reces.«ion.s. There is nothing of particular importance to
note in regard to machine tools, the situation being unchanged.

Montreal, Que.i Sept. 1, 1917.— The

chief topic of interest of the past week
has been the total closing of certain
munition plants and the partial closing
of others, owing to the recent orders

issued from the Imperial Munitions
Board to the effect that the production
of shell would in future be greatly cur-
tailed. Many of the smaller plants have
already discontinued operations while

some of the larger establishments have
released large numbers of their em-
ployees, with the prospect in the near
future of letting out many more. Num-
bers of these will undoubtedly be ab-
sorbed in other lines of activity. JIany
firms are now working on their pre-war
activity while others are contemplating
engaging in other lines of domestic en-
terprise. Certain sections of the coun-
try are more or less disturbed owing to
the near approach of conscription, but
this is expected to have slight effect
upon the enforcement of the Act. The
general activity in this territory is well
maintained and with the exception of the
munition output no appreciable differ-
ence is as yet pronounced.
Pig Iron

The greater difficulty in obtaining raw
material from the United States is part-
ly offset by the falling off in the re-
quirements owing to the curtailment
necessary resulting from the recent de-
velopments in the Canadian shell pro-
ducing activity. Domestic conditions,
however, are still comparatively un-
changed, as Canadian producers are still
able to consume the bulk of their own
production. Quotations on Cana Han
iron may again be available in the near
future.

Steel

What effect the recent developments
will have upon the steel situation here
in Canada is at present problematical, as
conditions are such that it is very difli-

280

UAi^ADIAN MACHINERY

Volume XVIII.

cult to foretell what may take place in
the near future. The curtailment in the
production of the various classes of mun-
itions will undoubtedly result in a fall-
ing off in the output of such steel as
has been required to maintain this in-
dustry at the abnormal activity of the
past years. No doubt considerable raw
material will still be produced and ex-
ported for shell-making purposes abroad
but the bulk of previous activity will be
largely discontinued. Owing however, to
the demand in other directions, it is not
thought likely that the market in gen-
eral will be much affected. The Ameri-
can situation continues more or less
unsettled due to the fact that no defin-
ite understanding has yet been arrived at
in connection with a stated price that
will regulate early market conditions.
The decline in the production of steel
billets and bars that have been used for
the manufacture of shells may relieve to
some extent the domestic situation in
small bars and shapes, as the mills in
this country will be in a position to
handle this class of material, but as re-
gards plate work of every description
it is not likely that recent developments
will have a bearing on this commodity,
owing to the inability of the local mills
to roll the necessary material. Under
these conditions there is a possibility
that a certain proportion of structural
work may be resumed, but ship building
and car interests will reap little benefit
from the change, in so far as the pro-
duction of material is concerned. The
American situation is still dominated by
the uncertain attitude of the Govern-
ment in the delayed announcement of a
definite policy regarding the action they
propose taking in connection with the
regulation of prices. Price changes on
the American market are very few, those
noted showing a slightly weaker tend-
ency. Local dealers report unchanged
conditions witih quotations well main-
tained. Much difficulty is still experi-
enced in getting delivery from points in
the States.

Metals

With the decline in the production of
munitions, it is expected that the metal
market, especially in Canada, will ex-
perience a period of readjustment as
far as war requirements are concerned;
no sharp decline is looked for in prices
as conditions in the States will more
than balance the absence of activity in
this particular direction. Copper is
easier. Tin has a firmer tendency on
better demand. Spelter is steadier but
quiet. Lead is fairly active but easier.
Antimony and aluminum are both steady
and unchanged.

Copper. — Developments in the States
have sho'wn no material improvement
and general conditions are still more or
less unsettled. Strikes at some of the
mines have disturbed the American mar-
ket and consumers still show a reluct-
ance to active interest under existing
conditions. With the exception of elec-
tro, which has declined % cent per lb.,
the American market has remained firm.
The local market on a lighter demand

has declined 1 cent per lb., the current
quotations being 33 cents for lake and
electrolytic, and 32 cents for castings.

Tin. — The market is firm on better
demand and inquiries seem to indicate
that consumers are taking a more ac-
tive interest in the situation. These
conditions have had the effect of steady-
ing the market and prices have been
well maintained. The New York mar-
ket is stronger with prices Vs cent
higher than last week. Local dealers
report a featureless situation with
prices firm and unchanged at 61% cents
per lb.

Spelter. — Unsettled conditions contin-
ue to influence the spelter situation and
dullness is still a factor of the present
market: The American market is quiet
and dealers here report unchanged con-
ditions at last week's price of 10y2 cents
per lb.

Lead. — With the prospect of a better
supply, products are satisfied that the
time has arrived for some readjustment
of the market, and this has been reflect-

MARKET LETTER DEVELOP-
MENT

The attention of metal working
plant executives is directed to the
enlargement of the scope and use-
fulness of our Market Letter De-
partment. In New York and Pitts-
burgh, expert correspondents have
been engaged, and are already
furnishing each week concise re-
ports of production activities, price
movements, etc., within the terri-
tory served by each of these im-
portant centres. During the next
few weeks, further additions will
be made to the number of our
United States correspondents, em-
bracing other industrial centres,
and enlarging thereby the scope
of the meantime service being ren-
dered.

expected that considerable second hand
machinery would be placed on the mar-
ket, but in view of the unsettled condi-
tion of the industrial situation it is not
likely that this will be effected for some
little time. The feature of the present
market is the marked decline in the de-
mand for supplies, particularly such re-
quirements as were necessary for carry-
ing on the extensive shellmaking oper-
ations of recent months. The market in
these accessories is however compara-
tively quiet, no appreciable decline hav-
ing as yet been reported in price condi-
tions.

Scrap
Owing to the prevailing conditions in
the industrial field at the present time
the market in old metals is very unset-
tled and prices are correspondingly un-
certain. The tendency in the old metals
is towards lower levels, but the situation
in iron and steel scrap is well main-
tained in spite of the decline in shell re-
quirements. American iron and steel
markets are very firm while metal scrap
is weaker. The local situation h feat-
ured by a certain nervousness as a re-
sult of recent developments; old coppers

clined Ws cents per lb., the prince quot-
ed being 6V2 cents per lb. Heavy lead

Aluminum at 30 cents shows a decline
of 5 cents per lb.

last week.

Antimony. — ^The situation is dominat-
ed by pending developments and ab-
sence of demand, but prices continue
firm; 15 cents is quoted in New York, a
decline on the week of Vi cent. Locally

Aluminum. — iDespite an easier mar-

Machine Tools and Supplies

The machine tool market has experi-
enced another week of comparative in-
activity with a slight improvement over
the business of last week. Inquiries are
still coming in for general line of equip-
ment but the sales are not heavy. With
the falling off in munitions it might be

Toronto, Ont., Sept. 4. — The machinery
exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibi-
tion, now being held here, is in general
character similar to that of pre-war
years. There are no exhibits showing
munitions machinery or equipment ex-
clusively, and in this respect it is in line
with the last developments in the ma-
chine tool business. An interesting fea-
ture, and one showing possibilities of
considerable development, is the exhibi-
tion of farm tractors. These are being
used extensively now, and are bound to
become more popular as they improve in
design and workmanship.
Steel

The situation in the iron and steel
trade is practically unchanged from last
week, and prices continue stationary,
with a weaker tendency. It is understood
that some progress is being made in re-
gard to the adjustment of the embargo
on steel from the United States, but no
announcement has been made regarding
the progress of negotiations. No official
statement has been given out from
Washington concerning the U.S. Govern-
ment price fixing: policy, although a pub-
lic announcement of maximum prices for
various grades of steel from certain mills
is expected shortly. It is believed that
steel prices will be fixed by the War In-

September 6, 1917.

dustries Board on a cost-plus-profit basis,
but whether or not this will be extended
to include steel for private consumers is
not known. In the meantime the mar-
ket is unsettled, with new business al-
most at a standstill. Consumers are buy-
ing: as little material as possible in the
hope of lower prices, and are waiting un-
til the situation clears up. There is still
a shortage of steel, but some relief is
looked for now that the mills have more
tonnage available for domestic require-
ments. This will also to some extent re-
lieve the tight situation caused by the
embargo. The Canadian mills with their
increased capacity will be in a better
position than ever before to supply the
demands of the home market. Produc-
tion has shown an increase lately on ac-
count of the cooler weather, but the coke
situation continues to cause considerable
anxiety and the steel output may be cur-
tailed because of this unless supplies of
coke can be steadily maintained, which
at the present moment appears rather
doubtful.

In the United States market, demands
for war purposes, and particularly for
shipbuilding, are more than sufficient to
keep all steel producers working at the
limit of capacity. There is not enough
steel to meet all demands, and with Gov-
ernment and Allies requirements having
to be filled before the private consumer
can participate, the latter has to take
what he can get. Private enterprise is
consequently considerably restricted.
For this reason, and because of the pre-
vailing high prices, domestic business is
slow. The trade is waiting developments
at Washington, and until the price fixing
policy is settled no important change in,
the situation is anticipated. Prices con-
tinue to show an easier tendency, parti-
cularly on semi-finished material, and
further declines are looked for. Produc-
tion is being curtailed because of lack
of men and shortage of raw materials.
There is a serious deficiency in supplies
of pig iron and semi-finished steel at
some important plants. The sheet mar-
ket continues active, with buying prin-
cipally for U. S. Government account.
Prices in the home market are un-
changed.

Pig Iron

The situation in the domestic pig iron
market is unchanged, and prices of foun-
dry iron continue nominal at $60 a ton.
Considerable difficulty is being experi-
enced in getting coke in sufficient quanti-
ties owing to the scarcity of car>. On
the other side of the line there is a heavy
demand for pig iron, and the furnaces
are having difficulty in completing con-
tracts. Deliveries are somewhat delayed,
but production is improving with cooler
weather. Coke production is increasing,
but shortage of cars is holding prices
firm. The trade is expecting an an-
nouncement from Washington within a
short time as to the price at which coke
is to be sold. In view of possible Gov-
ernment control of the coke market,
lower prices are anticipated.'
Scrap

The market for old materials continues
quiet at unchanged prices, but a mod-
erate recession in values is likely, par-

ticularly in copper and brass. Steel
and cast iron scrap are in good demand
and the prices have been well main-
tained on the basis of last week's quot-
ations. Supplies of shell steel turnings
now considerably reduced in volume are
being readily absorbed with prices show-
ing a firmer tendency. The new steel
plant at Ashbridge's Bay is using con-
siderable of this material and dealers'
stocks are not by any means, as heavy
as they were a few months ago.
Machine Tools
The past week has been fairly quiet
in the machine tool trade in regard to
sales, although the Machinery Hall at
the local exhibition has been the centre
of considerable activity. The trend of
events in the trade is reflected in the
exhibits as there is comparatively little
machinery or equipment being shown
that would be required exclusively in the
manufacture of shells. In this respect
the exhibits follow more along the lines
of pre-war times than last year.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
PURCHASING COMMISSION

The following gentlemen consti-
tute the Commission appointed to
make all purchases under the Do-
minion $100,000,000 war appropri-
ation: — Georgje F. Gait, Winnipeg;
Hormidas Laporte, Montreal; A.
E. Kemp, Toronto. Thomas Hil-
liard is secretary, and the Commis-
sion headquarters are at Ottawa.

Supplies

Although there has been lately some
falling off in demand for machine shop
supplies, business continues in steady
volume. The difficulty now is to obtain
goods promptly and dealers are obliged
to place their orders well ahead which
means carrying considerable stocks.
Prices on all lines are holding very firm
with advances on some goods. Due to
recent advances in the price of Mid-
Continent oil to $2.00 a barrel, there is
a firm situation in the refined products
such as gasoline, benzine, and coal oil.
The heavy consumption is an additional
factor that is giving firmness to the
market. Prices of gasoline and benzine
are unchanged.

Metals

Comparatively little interest is being
displayed by consumers in metals and
the markets are quiet. The reason for
the lack of interest is the uncertainty
surrounding the United States Govern-
ment's attitude with regard to nrices.
There is some apprehension in the trade
in regard to future developments and
the markets are consequently easier al-
though prices are unchanged in the
meantime. The local situation is un-
changed from last week and the market
continues somewhat unsettled.

Copper. — The market is neglected and
no business of consequence is now offer-
ing. Production is the U.S. is being

seriously interfered with by labor
troubles at the mines, some of which
are said to have closed down. The larger
producers are practically out of the mar-
ket and there is some fear that the sup-
ply will be insufficient to permit copper -
to be used for any purpose other than
for munitions and war equipment. Prices
are entirely nominal and unchanged,
lake and electrolytic being quoted at
34c and castings at 33c per pound.

Tin. — The miarket is quiet with no
feature of particular interest to note.
Business is dull owing to uncertainty in
the situation in London, where the mar-
ket has been subject to considerable fluc-
tuation. Local price 64c per pound.

Spelter. — The spelter situation con-
tinues unsettled and the market has an
easier tendency. It is said that produc-
tion has fallen off considerably on ac-
count of the inability of producers to
sell spelter at a profit at current prices.
Local price lie per pound.

Lead. — ^The market is very quiet but
has a fairly strong undertone and prices
are holding steady. Consumers are
keeping out of the market pending de-
velopments at Washington. Local situ-
ation at 13c per pound.

Antimony. — The market is still quiet
and prospects are not too bright for
immediate improvement. Prices are un-
changed at 20c per pound.

Aluminum. — Little interest is shown
in aluminum and the market is rather
unsettled with an easier undertone.
Price 64c per pound.

Sydney, N.S., Aug. 31.— The coal pro-
duction at the Glace Bay collieries of the
Dominion Coal Company during August
reached only 296,000 tons, this being the
smallest tonnage recorded in August
since 1904, with the exception of August,
1909, when the output was reduced by
the U.M.W. strike. Indications are that
the Dominion Coal Co. production for the
whole year 1917 will not exceed 3,950,000
tons, which will compare with 4,440,000
tons in 1916, and is at least 1,500,000
tons below the capacity of the collieries
for output with a full working force.
This is the chief reason for the shortage
of soft coal deliveries in Montreal. It is
true that great, almost insuperable, diffi-
culties have been encountered in trans-
porting to Montreal even the negligible
quantity of Cape Breton coal that has
gone up the river this season, but pre-
sumably, if the coal had been available,
it would have been carried to Montreal
by one means or another. As sonie indi-
cation of transportation conditions, it
may be mentioned that coal is being sent
in cars by rail from Cape Breton to St.
John, N.B.

The slackening in munitions manufac-
ture has affected Nova Scotia. The stop-
page of orders is chiefly for shrapnel
steel and forgings for shrapnel shells.
The Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Co. laid
off some one thousand men on this ac-
count at New Glasgow, although it is un-
derstood that most of them can be given
work of a different class at lower wages.
The Dominion Iron- & Steel Co. have tem-
porarily disccntinued work at the sixteen

inch mill, where shrapnel steel was
rolled, and orders are slack in other de-
partments. It is evident that a readjust-
ment period has been entered upon. Un-
der present conditions there will be no
difficulty in finding employment for all
the workmen in Nova Scotia, but they
will have to be prepared to take other
work and usually at much lower wages
than the high rates that have been paid
during the past year and a half. There
seems to be no doubt that the Admiralty
is concentrating its energies on supply-
ing- foodstuffs to Britain and her Allies,
and the necessity for munitions now
takes second place. The control of ship-
ping by the Admiralty prevents the ex-
port of munitions if foodstuffs are to be
given preference, and this seems to be
the real explanation of the slackening in
munitions orders.

The rules recently promulgated by the
United States requiring licenses for all
exported materials is temporarily ren-
dering difficult construction work in Can-
ada, which depends on the supplying of
material from the United States, and this
is affecting the extension plans of the
steel companies. It is rumored the Nova
Scotia Steel Company intends to enlarge
its coke-oven plant at Sydney Mines. The
coke-oven plant now under erection at
the works of the Dominion Iron & Steel
Co. is making fair progress.

New York, Sept. 3. — Business in the
steel industry continues to be confined
mainly to the filling of Government
contracts. Thus far the steel mills have
received orders amounting to 3,200,000
tons from the Government either direct-
ly or indirectly; approximately 75 per
cent, of this tonnage has been accepted
by the United States Steel Corporation.
The subsidiary companies of the Corpor-
ation will furnish the steel for 11,000
cars to be built in this country for the
double track railroad in France which
is being built and equipped in the inter-
est of the United States army. The
Corporation is also rolling 90,000 tons
steel rails for this road - and 10,000 of
light sections of the 20,000 tons pur-
chased for portable tracks in France.
The corporation will also furnish 800,-
000 tons of the steel to be used in the
construction of war ships by the United
States Navy and by merchant yards.

The United States Government is also
endeavoring to place steel orders for
10,000 additional cars to be built here
and exported to France, most of the
material for which will be distributed
among independent steel companies that
thus far have not accepted their full
share of Government work. Several in-
dependent mills in the past few days
have received orders for a large tonnage
of steel plates and shapes required in
the building of cargo boats by the Em-
ergency Fleet Corporation and this steel
will be shipped to the plants of the Am-
erican International Corporation who
will build 200 steel ships; to the Sub-
marine Boat Corporation who will build
28 standardized steel ships, and to the
p'ints of the Chester Shipbuilding Co.
and to the Merchants Shipbuilding Cor-

poration. The building of these boats
will require 4.32,000 tons of plates and
shapes. Only a portion of this tonnage
has been placed; but the balance will
probably be distributed early next year.

The United States Shipping Board has
now closed contracts for 701 ships —
steel, wood, and composite. The
Emergency Fleet Corporation of the
Board now has ships of 3,250,000 tons
burden either building or under con-
tract, which will call for the expenditure
of nearly $600,000,000, and additional
contracts for 571 ships are under nego-
tiation. As noted early last month, the
full program of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation calls for the building of
1,727 ships of 7,968,200 tons displace-
ment to cost $1,234,500,000. The Ship-
ping Board's commandeering program
of ships already on the ways at merch-
ant yards, calls for the expenditure of
$515,000,000. Ships bought or to be
purchased call for the expenditure of
$150,000,000. Shipyards to be built by
or for the Government in which to build
standardized ships will require the ex-
penditure of $35,000,000. Congress
thus far has appronriated $800,000,000
for the use of the Shipping Board, but
as nearly $2,000,000,000 will be needed,
the Board has now asked for an addi-
tional appropriation of $1,134,500,000 of
which $915,000,000 is to become avail-
able this year.

The various shipyards that received
contracts from the Government on the
last day of August have been anticipat-
ing this work by the purchase of cranes
and machine tools in the last few weeks.
The Federal Shipbuilding Co. has also
made additional tool purchases, and the
Pusev & .Tones Co. is about to issue a
list of tools for a new machine shop to
be built at Wilmington, Delaware.

Orders for about one million dollars
worth of machinery have been placed in
the last week in the New York market,
and lists have been put out by various
manufacturers of airplanes and air-
plane ensrines callinfr for the expendi-
ture of $3,000,000 including $1,000,000
worth of tools for the Inter-Continental
Machinery Cor^^vn'-inn. The Standard
Aero Corporation, Plainfield, N.J., is in
the market for $300,000 worth of metal
and wood-working machinery to be used
in equipping an airplane factory. The
Simplex-Automobile Co., is closing for
100 machine tools to be used on Govern-
ment work. Several manufacturers of
automobiles who have accepted con-
tracts for aviation motors have been
buying tools in the New York, Chicago,
Detroit, and Cleveland markets. The
United States Aircraft Production
Board and the French and Russian Gov-
ernments are also buying tools to build
airplane engines.

' Pittsburgh, Sept. 1. — Further pro-
gress towards a general readjustment in
iron and steel prices has been made in the
past week, although the surface evidences
are not spectacular in character. Billets
are off another $5 a ton, Bessemer iron is
down, say, $1 a ton and basic iron is

lower by about $4 a ton, while plates have
been eased off by about a cent a pound,
other finished steel products not being
quotably changed. Under the surface,
however, the forces are working out, the
mills having filled additional obligations
and having so much less ahead of them,
while the export embargo is making steel
more plentiful and there is constant senti-
mental pressure from Washington in the
direction of lower prices.

The New Export Embargo
The first export embargo, which became
effective July 15, applied to all countries
and included, as to iron and steel, the
following items; scrap, pig iron and ferro-
manganese, billets, ship plates and struc-
tural steel. The new embargo, dated
Augst 27, to become effective August 30,
is in two sections, the first applying to the
Central Powers and the countries adja-
cent, the latter to the rest of the world,
including the Entente Allies and their de-
pendencies, protectorates, etc., and the
neutrals not contiguous to the Central
Powers. The list as to the former in-
cludes practically everything, certainly all
iron and steel, there being the compre-
hensive wording, metals and their deriva-
tives and manufacturers. The list as to
the latter includes scrap, pig iron, ferro-
silicon, spiegeleisen, ferromanganese, in-
gots, blooms, billets, slabs and sheet bars,
plates, structural shapes, tool steel, alloy
steel and machine tools." This would
apply to Canada, of course. The import-
ant omissions are wire products, pipe,
sheets, tin ulates and merchant bars. The
Exports Administrative Board has been
organized to grant licenses, licensing
under the former embargo having been in
charge of the Denartment of Commerce.
The object of the first part of the em-
bargo is. of course, to prevent anv mater-
ial poing, directlv or indirectlv. from the
United States to the Central Powers. The
object of the second is to conserve the
supplies of the United States, permitting
material to go out only in case it is to be
used directly in prosecuting the war.
The Coal Situation
As noted in last report, the bituminous
coal operators were much dissatisfied with
the schedule of prices fixed bv President
Wilson on August 21, and had called a
p-eneral meeting of operators to be held in
Pittsburgh August 29. Evidently they
concluded on second thought that a gen-
eral meeting, at which there would pro-
bably be explosive utterances, would not
be a good path into the good graces of the
Government, hence the meeting was called
off and the executive officials of the re-
centlv formed Coal Producers' Associa-
tion have been meeting in Washington to
formulate plans for making representa-
tions to the Government.

No announcement has vet been made
rep-arding the fixing of coke prices. Con-
nellsville furnace coke for snot shipment
is strong to-day at $13.50 per net ton at
ovens.

Pig Iron
A pig iron producer has bought several
odd lots of Bessemer iron at $50 and $52,
valley, the market a week ago having been
quotable at $53. Basic iron, which was
quotable at $52, valley, can probably be

Ci^NADIAN MACHINERY

secured without difficulty at $48. Foun-
dry grades are nominally unchanged. In
other districts there is a generally softer
tone, but as a rule there is not enough
doing to place actual declines on record.

Billets Decline Again

This week billets were offered at $75,
finding few, if any, takers, and it is
thought that a firm bid of $70 would bring
out some material. Last week's market
was $80, while the top, reached at the be-
ginning of June, was $95 to $100. The de-
cline is likely to go farther, but it can
hardly continue long at the rate of $5 a
week, because it is now approaching the
level at which large contracts are being
filled, say, $50 to $G0. These are long-
term contracts, with a quarterly fixing of
prices. Rods are easier at $90 and forg-
ing billets can be had at $95, whereas a
few weeks ago they were strong at $125.

A Decline in Plates

While scrap started to decline late in
June, pig iron softened a trifle in July and
billets began declining in August, there
has been no quotable decline in any
finished steel product until this week,
when the distinction can be accorded to
plates. Until very lately it has been diffi-
cult to buy even ordinary tank plate at 9c.,
the more common quotation being lOc,
Lloyds' specifications commanding about
12c. In the past week there have been
rather free offerings of tank plate at 8c.,
and in a few instances at a shade less.
Thus an eastern mill sold 400 tons, %-inch
and heavier, 60 to 80 inches wide, at a
delivered price equal to 7.85c., Pittsburgh,
but as the freight was against the mill
the price realized at mill was only 7.70c.

The softening in plates is commonly
ascribed to the export embargo, which has
shut in some large tonnages, particularly
in the case of Japanese orders. However,
there is probably a contributory influence,
in that mills can now make a better ap-
praisal of how much plate tonnage the
shipbuilding program will absorb. The
requirements of the next few months are
much smaller than those expected when
various shipyards have been completed.
At that time there will be additional plate
rolling capacity. Then there is a new
element in the situation, the Secretary of
the Navy insisting upon the building of
150 destroyers as quickly as possible, even
to the detriment of the merchant ship-
building programme. It is stated this is
on the advice of Admiral Simms, in charge
of United States naval operations abroad,
and in considerable measure it would
serve to reduce the consumption of plates
for a time.

Government Price Fixing

Another week has passed without the
Government fixing the prices it is to pay
for steel, but an early announcement is
promised with more assurance than form-
erly. Then there will be the question of
prices to be accorded the Entente Allies,
on which matter the steel makers have not
yet f oiTnally yielded. When the prices are
fixed, it may prove to be the signal for the
beginning of a general decline in finished
steel prices for the ordinary trade. While
the steel makers have never subscribed
to the "one price for all" doctrine enunci-

YEAR'S WORK OF LAKE SUPERIOR
CORPORATION

THE net earnings from operations of all
of the subsidiary companies of the Lake
Superior Corporation for the year ended
June 30th last were $5,323,004.86, com-
pared with $3,503,471.18 in the previous
year, an increase of $1,819,533.68. To the
net earnings mentioned there was added
a balance of $340,087.33 brought forward
from 1916, giving $5,663,092.19 available
for distribution. Interest on bonds of
subsidiary companies took $1,419,071.20.
An amount of $586,485.12 was set aside
for Magpie Mine Reserve and for sink-
ing fund payments in respect of Helen,
Carmelton, Lake Superior Mines, Fiborn
quarries, etc. The losses and expenses
in connection with the sale of miscellan-
eous assets reached the sum of $145,036.-

propriated as reserves for depreciation,
renewals, etc., of special assets (includ-
ing renewal of coke ovens and docks, as
also abnormal capital cost of construc-
tion and equipment), and $1,500,000 was
set aside for general depreciation. These
items totalled $4,893,747.77, and left the
sum of $769,344.42 to be carried forward
by all companies.

The Algoma Steel Company showed an
increase both in the production of pig
iron and unfinished steel as follows:

1916-17 1915-16

Pig iron 348,519 258,504

Finished steel 280,296 215,466

The output consisted of shell steel to-
gether with rails and merchant bars.

The Algoma Steel Corporation has
completed the two 75-ton open hearth
furnaces which it had under way at the
opening of the year and has carried
through a third furnace of the same size.
With a possible production of about 50,-
000 tons ingots per month, the directors
consider that they have provided all the
steel making capacity necessary for some
time to come, and that subject to cer-
tain modernizing of the older furnaces,
they will have a satisfactory open hearth
plant.

Opportunity was taken to acquire the
modern blast furnace built at Midland,
Ont, a few years ago, by the Canada
Iron Corporation. This furnace has been
already moved to Sault Ste. Marie and
when erected and improved will have an
approximate capacity of 400 tons per
day. With the addition of the blast fur-
nace plant and with the ultimate pos-
sibility of operating four blast furnaces,
the Algoma Steel Corporation should
have a well balanced plant as between
its pig iron and steel producing possibili-
ties.

Satisfactory progress is being made
with the development of the water power
by the Great Lakes Power Company and
the supply of power, which will be great-
ly helpful to the ^teel plant, is expected
to commence about 1st January next.

Mr. Wilfrid H. Cunningham, the presi-
dent, says in the course of his report:

"So far as the finances of the Algoma
Steel Corporation are concerned, it is
gratifying to be able to report that the
position of the company has been much
improved, especially through its having
pair off, in March, its three-year note ob-
ligations ($2,432,000). A satisfactory
sale was made during the year, of the
steamship J. A. McKee, and of certain
office buildings and adjoining lands. The
price realized for steamship and lands
approximated $750,000, all of which is or
will be deposited with the trustees and
will be available for further capital ex-
penditure.

"Favorable reports have been received
as to the coal mines. In view of the
growing importance of these, the Lake
Superior and Cannelton Coal Companies
have opened an office in Cleveland, from
which Mr. W. C. Franz, the president of
those companies, will conduct operations.

"The present Helen Iron Mine is still
producing, but the operation cannot be
prolonged much further on account of
the exhaustion of the Hematite ore. A
considerable amount of diamond drilling
has been done on the property during the
year, with the result that a substantial
tonnage of Siderite has been proved up.
There are no further developments at
Magpie Mine. Labor conditions have
been unsatisfactory.

"Beyond progressing with their plans
the Algoma Steel Corporation directors
have not yet committed the company to
construction work in connection with
either structural or other mills. They
consider that prices and deliveries are
adverse to such work at present. The
necessity for further mill development is,
however, again very strongly emphasiz-
ed.

"In the disposition of earnings for the
year, the board of the Algoma Steel Cor-
poration has deemed it wise, especially
under the present conditions, to pursue a
thoroughly conservative policy. In addi-
tion to the necessary sinking funds, care
has been taken to provide for such as the
inevitable rebuilding of the bi-product
coke ovens, the extra depreciation caused
to rolling mills through the class of ma-
terial now being rolled, part of the ab-
normal cost of new construction, as well
as furtlier provision for Magpie Mine,
general depreciation, etc."

CANADIAN CONCERN SHARES IN
AEROPLANE ORDER

AN agreement has been reached between
the British and American Governments
by which half the capacity of the Curtiss
plants will be devoted to aeroplane re-
quirements of our European Allies. This
agreement applies no matter how great
capacity the Curtiss Company finally
attains.

The Curtiss Company will complete
an order within the next two weeks for
200 biplanes for Great Britair,, work on
which was started last year. These bi-
planes are of the training variety and
the cost to Great Britain is $30,000 each.
In other words, the order amounted to
$5 000,000.

The Willys-Overland Automobile Co.,
which now controls the Curtiss concern.

has received some large orders for aero-
plane parts. These include bolts, nuts,
turnbuckles, etc. These orders for the
Willys Company will be manufactured at
the Willys Morrow plant in Elmira. The
orders aggregate probably close to $25,-
000,000, and must be completed within 28
weeks. These large orders are over and
above an order for 1,000 of the Sunbeam
motors, now being manufactured by the
Canadian subsidiary of the Willy-Over-
land Company.

NEW PROCESS OF SULPHUR PRO-
DUCTION

THE drain on the world's sulphur supply
for the manufacture of munitions and
fertilizers has prompted the United
States Government Bureau of Mines to
make an investigation of various process-
es for recovering sulphur from the sul-
phur dioxide in smelter gases. A report
just issued by the bureau states that sul-
phur has been produced in extensive ex-
periments with a new process, and that
it can be produced on a commercial basis
for $12 to $13 a ton. Crude sulphur is
now selling in this country for $55 a ton,
and refined sulphur for about $80.

An increase in the sulphur supply of
the world would tend to lower the cost
of munitions, fertilizer, commercial sul-
phuric acid, and newsprint paper, in the
manufacture of which sulphur is an im-
portant agent.

ALLIES BUY HEAVILY IN U. S.

WHETHER or not the Allies who are
now purchasing various supplies in the
United States in enormous quantities
will be gratified if the Government fixes
the prices at which American commodi-
ties are to be sold, is a question yet to be
determined.

For one of the reasons why high prices
for commodities of all kinds have been
established and a tendency to an increase
in prices has been noticed is to be found
in the imperative pressure which the re-
presentatives of the Allies who are now
in the United States have brought to bear
upon manufacturers and others so that
they can secure their supplies and get
them as rapidly as possible.

Upon excellent authority it can be
stated that there are now in the United
States several thousand representatives
of Great Britain and France as well as
representatives of other Allied nations
seeking to secure commodities, although
some of them are occupied with inspec-
tion of commodities already purchased.
There is, therefore, intense competition
in American markets between represent-
atives of other nations who are here for
the purpose of buying American pro-
ducts.

On excellent authority it is reported
that representatives of Great Britain
who are now in the United States are
purchasing commodities the aggregate
money value of which each week is from
$18,000,000 to $20,060,000. The money
by mean of which., payment for these
commodities will "be made will be obtain-
ed by loans made by the Government of
the United States.

Montreal Customs Receipts. — Mont-
real August Customs receipts were
3,320,000 for August, an increase of
$504,319 over the corresponding month
of last year. Inland revenue receipts
were $1,361,260, an increase of $190,000.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.— The blast fur-
nace which the Algoma Steel Co. have
removed from Midland, will when erect-

Motor Car Merger Announced. — It is
announced that the plan of consolidation
of the Maxwell Motor Car Co. and the
Chalmers Motor Corporation provided
for a lease of the Chalmers plant, equip-

Where Sulphuric Comes From.— The
Bureau of Mines at Washington has
compiled some interesting statistics re-
garding the sulphuric acid situation. Of
the 6,250,000 tons of 50 per cent, acid
used last year, 2,500,000 tons, or 40 per
cent., came from Spanish pyrites; 350,-
000 tons, of 5.6 per cent., came from Can-
adian pyi-ites; 800,000 tons, or 12.8 per
cent., came from smelter acid, and 1,200,-
000 tons, or 19.2 per cent., came from
sulphur.

Big Destroyer Fleet for U.S.— Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels expects to sub-

$350,000,000 for a great fleet of destroy-
ers. The money will be used to expand
existing shipbuilding plants and also to
build additional engine and boiler factor-
ies, as the destroyer programme upon
which shipbuilding industry is now en-
gaged, represents the full capacity of the
industry.

Marine Insurance Risks Easier. —
Marine war risk insurance in New York
has a lower tendency. Rates to South
America have been reduced from 1% to
1 per cent, for River Plate and Buenos
.\yi-es, and from 1 per cent, to % per
cent, for Brazil. United Kingdom rates
in many cases are easier than a week
ago. The minimum on eastbound armed
passenger ships is 6 per cent. Rates to
France are also down to 6 per cent.

First Standard Ship Commissioned. —
The first of the British Government's
standardized merchant steamers to^ re-
place tonnage lost through submarines,
has been commissioned after completing
most successful trials. The keel was
laid down in February and the hull was
launched in June. It is understood that
six diflTerent types of vessels, varying in
size from 8,000 tons downward are be-
ing built. Many hundreds of such ships
will be constructed.

The Canadian Fairbanks-Morse Co.
are showing at the old stand this year at

August Increase in Customs Revenue.
— A report from Ottawa states that com-
plete returns for August are not yet
available, but the increase over the cor-
responding month of last year will be con-
siderably over $3,000,000. For the first
five months of the present fiscal year the
increase will be over $17,000,000 over the
same period of last year. At this rate,
the customs revenue should show a $40,-
000,000 increase over the returns for the
previous fiscal year.

rings above the gudgeon pin, the lower
one having its groove bevelled and the
bevel drilled through to the interior. A
third ring is provided at the bottom end

Contracts to Build 40 Steel Freighters.
— W. Averill Harriman, through the Mer-
chants Shipbuilding Coroporation, of
New York, which he organized and con-
trols, has signed contracts for construc-
tion of the largest amount of steel ship-
ping tonnage so far ordered by the Em-
ergency Fleet Corporation from any
single concern. The Merchant Ship-
building Corporation operates Harri-
man's new shipyard at Bristol, Penn.,
and this yard [s to construct for th
Government forly 9,000 ton fabricated
steel freight steamers.

Ore Carriers in Demand. — According
to reports from the Northwest, it will be
Sept. 15 or 20 when the movement of the
new crop gets started, and it will prob-
ably be a week or ten days later before
the demand for tonnage is very active.
Small carriers and line boats will be
able to take care of the movement dur-
ing the first ten days. The market at
Cleveland, O., in other lines is without
change. Ore carriers are in good de-
mand and some business is being done,
but the supply of coal tonnage is in ex-
cess of the demand and chartering is
light.

Big Demand for Rails. — A despatch
from New York states that users of light
rails are continuing to call for much
tonnage, but the mills are unable to
meet their demands and many of them
are being disappointed. It is expected
that considerable difficulty will be met
with in filling the Government's inquiry
for 25,000 to 30,000 tons of light rails for
France, which has been in the market for
several weeks. It is probable that to
supply this tonnage some buyers now on
the books may be displaced. A 25,000
to 30,000 ton lot for the French Govern-
ment direct also remains up for consider-
ation.

Sulphur Shipments Require License. —
The Trade and Commerce Department,
Ottawa, has been notified from Washing-
ton that the Burea of Export Licenses
has authorized the United States cus-
toms collector to pass sulphur shipments
to Canada which were already en route
on or before Aug. 27, and prior to the
coming into effect of the new American
export regulations. After Aug. 27, how-
ever, all sulphur shipments to Canada
will require special licenses. Applica-.
tions for such licenses must go to the
Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce
at Ottawa, who will pass upon them, and,
if they are satisfactory, he will send
them on to Washington.

Volume XVIII.

parts of the province were present for a
discussion of matters connected with
Hydro engineering plans. W. P. Dobson,
Chief Engineer of the Labatory Depart-
ment of the Hydro-Electric Commission
read an interesting paper on "Demand
Meters." A motion picture demonstra-
tion was also given by E. H. Porte, show-
ing the systems in Ontario supplied with
power by the Hydro-Electric Commission
throughout the province.

Hydro May Expropriate Power. —
Within a month or so the Ontario Hydro-
Electric Commission will take steps to
expropriate the power which is being ex-
ported by the Canadian Niagara Co. and
the Electrical Development Co., if the de-
veloping companies refuse to supply the
Hydro Commission with the amount of
power they require. By this means 83,-
000 h.p. will be available to make up the
shortage of power in the province. The
Electrical Development Co. is exporting
50,000 of its horsepower, and the Can-
adian Niagara Co. is exporting 30,000
horsepower. The old Ontario Power Co.,
which the Hydro Commission purchased
and took over a month ago, was export-
ing something like 40,000 horsepower.
Now there is said to be 83,000 horsepow-
er wanted by the Hydro Commission to
make up the shortage of power, and this
will have to be supplied by the two first
companies.

New U. S. Shipyards. — Contracts for
construction of three U. S. Government
owned shipyards for building fabricated
steel merchant vessels have been award-
ed at Washington by the Shipping
Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation.
They went to the Submarine Boat Cor-
poi-ation for a plant at Newark, N.J.;
the American International Corporation,
for one at Hog Island, Pa., and the Mer-
chants Shipbuilding Company, for one at
Chester, Pa. The yards wi'll cost $3.5,-
000,000, and the builders of the yards are
given contracts for building in them two
hundred ships. The prospects are that
conti-acts for many more vessels will be
let when these are completeed. The Sub-
marine Corporation will lay ways for
building twenty-eight ships simultane-
ously and will have facilities and equip-
ment to turn out one 5,000-ton ship every
two days after the first vessel is com-
pleted.

Algoma Steel Co.'s Output. — The out-
put of the Algoma Steel Corporation.
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., for the year end-
ing June 30, was 348,519 tons of pig iron
and 280,296 tons of finished steel. The
output consisted of shell steel, together
with rails and merchant bars. Opera-
tions have been largely governed by the
requirements of the Imperial Munitions
Board, which has regulated the distribu-
tion of the company's product. Through-
out the twelve months somewhat diffi-
cult conditions have prevailed, especially
as regards labor and materials, the de-
liveries of the latter having been seri-
ously hampered. Especially was this the
case with coal, the bringing in of which
on account of car shortage necessitated
continued and expensive importation
throughout the winter months after the
close of lake navigation. Conditions have
improved somewhat, but materials are

generally and necessarily more difficult
to obtain, whilst deliveries are only ob-
tainable far ahead.

Canadian Steel Corporation Plans. —
Plans for the erection of the United
States Steel Corporation's $20,000,000
plant at Ojibway, Ont., will now be car-
ried forward, according to a statement of
Ward B. Perley, vice-president and
general manager of the Canadian Steel
Corporation, the Canadian subsidiary of
the big United States concern. This
company was incorporated some three
years ago. A tract of land on the St.
Clair River, north of Windsor, was pur-
chased, a separate municipality was
established, streets were laid out for an
ideal town, such as the United States
Steel Corporation has at its American
plants. Then the war put a temporary
stop to construction. The bid for ten-
ders for the construction of a slip and
huge concrete •and steel docks for the
Ojibway Company was the sign for a
renewal of construction and further
plans of the company will now be pro-
ceeded with. The plant is well situated,
being on the direct water route from the
Lake Superior iron mines to the ocean.
Hydro-Electric power will be avai'.able
from Niagara. The operations of the
plant, as outlined by Judge E. H. Gary,
chairman of the Board of Directors of
the United States Steel Corporation, will
include some blast furnaces and mills for
the manufacture of wire, rails and bars
and perhaps other steel products.

The Canadian Mining Manual 1916-17.
by Reginald E. Hore, Editor of the
Canadian Mining Journal, 448 pages 6 in.
X 8% in. Published by The Canadian
Mining Journal, Toronto. This is the
third volume of the now series of this
useful and popular handbook of infor-
mation concerning the minerals and
mines of Canada. The publication of
the handbook was delayed in order to
deal more fully with developments in
1916. Reports covering this period were
not available until some months after
the close of the year and advantage was
taken of this delay to incorporate con-
siderable information covering the early
months of 1917. The information con-
tained in the manual will doubtless ap-
peal, to those interested in the subject,
more at this period than formerlly owing
to the greater interest that is being tak-
en in the minerals of Canada as a re-
sult of the war. The need of developing
our mineral resources is becoming more
apparent and any literature that will
assist towards this end will be received
with greater interest on this account.
The publishers have, as in former years,
freely used extracts from government
publications, company reports and tech-
nical journals, etc., which fact guaran-
tees the accuracy of the data contained
in the volume. The manual covers all
the various phases of mining activity in
Canada and contains much useful in-
formation on the vari.otis minerals found
in this country, including location of the
mines, physical properties of the min-
erals and methods of mining, etc. The
sections covering coal, copper and nickel
are of partictilar interest at this time.
A list of mining companies and their
product is a useful feature of this pub-
lication. The manual is fully illustrated
and is bound in attractive red cloth cov-

CANADIAN MACHINERY

Volume XVIII.

MACLEAN'S SEPTEMBER

is a magazine of the very best type and rank. It is made for
Canadians, and so has a value and appeal to Canadians possessed
by no other magazine in the world. MACLEAN'S circulation
is getting greater each month. It is now 50% larger than a
year ago. The inference is inevitable.

Northcliffe

Lord Northcliffe will be a contribu-
tor to the September MACLEAN'S.
The general theme of his article
will be Canada's position at the
present time in relation to the war
and to the Empire afterwards. Be
sure to read what the brilliant and
dominant man has to say about our
country. Get an outsider's view-
point.

MacLean

John Bayne MacLean, publisher, editor,
publicist, clear-seeing and far-seeing,
has another strong article in the Septem-
ber MACLEAN'S. Colonel MacLean has
proved himself to be as clear-sighted as
Kitchener in many matters pertaining to
the present war; and he is doing a needed
work now in THE FINANCIAL POST
and other newspapers, to arouse Cana-
dians to a proper sense of the perils that
lie ahead.

Ronald

Another smuggling revelation!

A certain Canadian town offered a big
bonus to a factory. An American sup-
plied the desired factory, smuggled into
Canada the whole plant required, — and
was afterwards found out and brought
to book. J. D. Ronald tells the whole
amazing story in the September MAC-
LEAN'S. Mr. Ronald is contributing to
MACLEAN'S a series of Canadian "in-
side" smuggling stories — true ones. This
is great stuff.

Leacock and Laut

Stephen Leacock and Miss Agnes C. Laut
are contributors as usual to the Septem-
ber MACLEAN'S. Leacock's humor is
bubbling, sparkling and refreshing — like
spring water. Miss Laut provides an-
other of her well-informed vigorous, and
revealing articles on a phase of the war
in relation to Canada and the United
States. Miss Laut makes us think and
wonder!

Jacobs and
McGrath

W. W. Jacobs contributes one of his in-
imitable short stories to the September
MACLEAN'S. "Their Wives Went
Along." Harold McGrath, world famous
story-writer, who wrote "The Man on the
Box," provides a complete novelette. It is
a story of adventure and mystery.

Allenson and
Moorhouse

A. C. Allenson contributes a short story,
"A Flutter in Diamonds;" and Hopkins
Moorhouse, "Their Tents like the Arabs."
These two men are Canadians — winning
fame, and adding lustre to Canada's
record for producing short story writers
of the first-class.

Hendryx

James B. Hendryx's serial, "The Gun
Brand," continues in the September
MACLEAN'S. A great story of the
Canadian Northwest. The Movie-makers
are filming Hendryx's work. So you can
be sure that he's writing the right sort
of stuff.

Women and
Their Work

This is the title of a new department in
MACLEAN'S. In the September issue,
this department will contain:
Reducing my household cost.
The Care of the Child— an article by Dr.
George E. Smith.

A sketch of Mrs. W. M. Davidson, a
prominent Western woman, engaged with
her husband in editing the Calgary
AJbertan.

Cooking the Cheaper Cuts, — an article on
economy in the kitchen.
This new department will prove of first-
class interest to all women.

Review of Reviews

One of the best liked and most valuable
features of MACLEAN'S MAGAZINE
is its Review of Reviews Department
where the best and most significant arti-
cles appearing in current literature are
condensed for the busy reader, and for
the one who wants to know what other
magazines are printing. Here one gets
a cross-section of the world's best
thought.

An Interesting Installation of Chapman Double
Ball Bearing Transmission

Jllu?tratiiiu show? a portion of the installalidu at
the new Dominion Steel Pi-oduct.s pUint at Hrant-
foid, Ontario, where the entire transmission equip-
ment — shafting, hangers and hall beai'ings — is
Chapman Double Ball Bearing Transmission.

This plant was laid down for special war-time
manufacturing, but the entire equipment was in-
stalled with a view to ultimate economical and
efficient production in the general manufacturing
field.

That this was an important factor in choosing
Chapman Double Ball Bearing Transmis.sion
gives U.S no small amount of satisfaction.

That Dominion Steel Products should instal
Chapman Transmission because they were con-
vinced of its efficiency is one reason why you, too,
should investigate. We have on file many similar

reasons.

Wherever Wheels are
Turning or Machines are
Operating —

THE output during the short fall
^£^ , and winter days — and during

the night-shifts — depends largely
upon proper lighting.

Twenty-four hours of daylight would certainly
increase your output, consequently, securing a clear,
white light, one most closely approximating daylight — one that does not
cause eye strain — one that will tend to develop all-around efficiency —
one that gives greatest candle power with least current consumption —
the life of which is insured — Such is the light you want in your plant.

"The Light That Gives More Light"—

THE LACO-NITRO LAMP

is the ONE light that meets ALL these requirements.

We ofTer in the Laco-Nitro Lamp a tungsten filament in a nitrogen

gas filled bulb. This lamp represents the highest development of the

tungsten lamp. The tungsten filament in the nitrogen filled bulb gives

a clearer, whiter light and greater candle power per watt than any other
type lamp.

Inquire from your local dealer.

"Davis Apparatus" offers the widast range of
equipment made for employing to its gi'eatest
value the oxy-acetylene process of welding and
cutting — hacked hy the longest service, the most
extensive experience, and the greatest develop-
ment in apparatus and in api^lication.
It is employed by the most prominent concerns
in the iron and steel and metal working indus-
tries, and was awarded the highest honors at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition — two
Medals of Honor (higher award than the Gold
Medal) and a Gold Medal.

To Obtain the Best Results Use " D-B " Welding
Supplies with " D-B " Equipment.

To make a successful weld, it is as necessary to
have high-grade welding supplies as it is to have
efficient apparatus and competent labor. To
obtain the best materials, buy them from con-
cerns known to be familiar with these require-
ments.

Davis-Bournonville oxy-acetylene welding rods
and fluxes are manufactured after our own

Cutting Iron and Steel by Qxy-Acetylene Proccss

Wherever the Cutting of Iron and Steel is necessary, this method
is universally adopted, with a Saving of Time, Money and Labor.
An "A.L.S." Oxy-Acetylene Welding Outfit may be instantly
converted into a complete cutting unit by the addition of an
"A.L.S." Oxycutter.

For Cutting manholes and portholes in Steel Plates; Burning
off rivet heads before driving out rivets; and hundreds of other
similar purposes, the Oxy-Acetylene Process is more economical
and efficient than any other method, and sometimes performing
work otherwise impossible.

WHY NOT LET US TELL YOU
HOW MUCH YOU CAN SAVE?

Many firms have not yet realized all that Oxy-Acetylene Weld-
ing and Cutting will do for them. You may be one of them. If
so, write to-day, we shall be pleased to give you all the informa-
tion necessary to enable YOU to judge how much YOU may
benefit by the Process. An ordinary purchaser of an Outfit saves
the cost many times over during a year, many save the cost on
the first job. Is this not worth investigation ?

This type of Thomson Electric Butt Welding
Machine takes care of welding of small duplicate
pieces, such as rings, buckles, etc., from the
moment the operator places the piece in the
clamping die until after the weld is made. A
power-driven cam shaft tightens the clamps,
turns on the current, applies the welding pres-
sure, cuts off the current and releases the clamps
after the weld is made. It can turn out 900 to
1 000 welds per hour.

Mean Speed

When you hear the rattle and bang of a rivet-
ing shop — you think it means speed — but does
it? Notice carefully how long it takes to rivet a
small section — then go into a shop using the
Thomson Spot Welder — no noi.se, no dirt, no
danger, just quiet, efficient work that means
speed. You will .see one man at a Thomson Spot
Welder doing five times as much work as by the
old method, and the welds hold better than the
rivets.

These Two

TATE-JONES

Improved Portable Gas Oven Furnaces will
Prove Money Savers in any Plant

Series A— Recuperative

For Temperatures of 900 deg. to 1600 deg. Fahr. Uses
Natural or Artificial Gas. Low or positive pressure for
Hardening Carbon Steel, preheating or reheating High Speed
Steel.

For tool room or manafacturing purposes, this furnace is not only

economical in its fuel saving features, but lends itself to various uses

up to its temperature capacity.

It lias been proven by scientific working tests that the recuperative

device saves as high as 25% in fuel. It saves time and delivers a better

finished product.

The interior of the oven is especially constructed so that 100% of both

the radiant and radiated heat is thrown to the work. This is really

50% more than can be obtained from other furnaces.

The fire brick and specially molded tile are

the best obtainable for the purpose. We use

one inch of a special insulation that is equiva-
lent to nine inches of fire brick in the preven-
tion of heat loss. The outer casing of the

oven is made of cast iron and boiler plate.

The recuperator is constructed entirely of cast

iron, sheet steel and high grade fire brick.

The coil is IVi" wrought iron pipe, so placed

that no direct vent heat can strike it. This

assures long life.

This line of furnaces has many points of

economy and ease of operation that are more

apparent in use than in the illustration.

Sizes and complete specifications upon
Ask for Bulletin 160-C.

SERIES H.

For temperatures 1600 deg. to 2400 deg. Fahr. For hardening
High Speed Steels. Uses Artificial or Natural Gas at 1 1-2 to
2 1-2 lbs. pressure. Especially valuable for hardening fine
cutting tools and manufacturing uses.

The loss of heat by radiation is practically negligible because of the high quality
as well as the particular kind of linings used. The 1" of special insulation is
equivalent to 9" of fire brick (same as used in series A furnaces).
Because it requires no live heat to keep it in temperature equilibrium, it makes all
the heat delivered, available for work. This, naturally, effects a big saving of fuel.
The outer casing of the furnace is cast iron and boiler plate. The door, owing to
the slant construction, is always tight to the front; it overlaps, top, bottom and
sides — all of which prevents leakage. There is no friction in opening the door.
Raising it a fraction of an inch frees it from the front — when it rises straight up.
As a Pyrometer is absolutely essential in hardening high speed steels we supply
A Pyrometer Bracket especially designed for this furnace. For preheating high-
speed steels use Tate-Jones Series A Furnace (described on the left).
This Series H furnace can be supplied recuperative also, which means a saving
of as much as 25% of fuel.

TESTED

There are many conditions to consider
when in.«talling a furnace. Among
these there are two that stand out prom-
inently at the pre.«ent time: The co.st of
operating the furnace and the cost and
scarcity of fuel.

The semi-muffled furnace illastrated
here is the best solution we know to the
problem. Its cost in operating is
greatly reduced because of the small
amount of fuel required. Among the
many other features are: Perfect com-
bustion, no formation of any oxidizing
elements, the flame is not visible in
muffle and does not come in contact
with material; retains heat for a long
period.

Our line of furnaces is complete. We

Pulley breakdowns are costly — men and machines idle
during- replacements. You can't afford to use pulleys that
break down.

But belt slip frequently eats up more power and money
than a manufacturer dreams of. It not only eats up power
but produces heat that takes the oil out of the belts and
shortens their life.

Bertram Plays Safe By Using
Trahern Rotary Geared Pumps

Rliell production requires uniform effici-
ency from operator to lathe — and thence down
to the accessories with which the machine is
equipped. Bertram uses TRAHERN PUMPS
because thej' will supply a variable stream of
coolant ranging from IV2 gallons to 16 gallons
per minute. Any amount you require is at your
dispo.?al— the Special TRAHERN relief valve
permitting shutting off at discharge without
.stopping pump.

Tlie slow speed at which the pumps can be

run, varying from 300 to 500 R.P.M. in accord-
ance with your requirements, conserves the life
of the pumps. This is not true of the centri-
fugal pump, which must be operated at maxi-
mum speed to obtain the capacity desired. The
accurate machining and assembling of TRA-
HERN PUMPS renders the danger of loss of
prime a negligible factor. The drive .shaft is of
high grade, cold rolled steel. The Pumps are
constructed to prevent excessive wear at stuffing
box, a distinctive point of superiority over the
centrifugal type.

TRAHERN ROTARY GEARED PUMPS will increase the volume of production
from your present equipment — write for particulars.

If the workman is required to stop his nia-

energy and ability are wasted. His attention is
diverted from important work to an operation

Common Sense in the Standardization of Belting

You have standardized youi- signa-
ture.

You buy standardized tools, stand-
ard printing paper and a hundred
other standardized things, instead of
having them made to order. It is
safer for you — easier and more
economical.

Why don't you standardize your
lielting?

Consider what standardization has
done for your own product ; for other
ju-oduets you use.

Translate these advantages into
terms of belting.

Analyze belt installations. You
lind the requirements of power trans-
mission fall into a small number of
sharply defined classes — about a

dozen if you define them scientific-
ally.

Standardized Belting offers you a
standard belt that is exactly suited
to each one of these classes. You
adopt the one that is fitted to the
needs of your own work. That is
standardization — just plain common
sense applied to power transmission.

There are Graton & Knight Heart,
GraKnight, GraKnight D y n a m o,
Spartan, Neptune and other Stand-
ard Brands — all standardized on the
basis of work to be done and condi-
tions to be met.

Standardize your belts. Consult our
representatives. Submit your power trans-
mission problems to our mechanical labora-
tory — get expert advice.

He runs the table forward with his right

dog hits the trip, which automatically dis-
engages the hand movement, and at the

the piece has been milled, another dog dis-
engages the power feed, and the operator
brings the table back by hand, ready to

chuck a new piece. This in (jnirk action. The oper-
ator can slam the table forward as fast as he pleases

THOMAS A. EDISON INC. KNOWS HACK SAWS

SO thoroutilily is the name of Edison associated with
the scientific knowledge that comes from exhaustive
research and positive proof, it goes without saying
that the Edison organization is buying STAR BLADES
on facts and not on faith.

If you as a manufacturer hick the Edison research facili-
ties, you can't do better than follow the Edison example
and use STAR BLADES.

Remember, il'> not the cost of the blad&s, but the cost of
the cuts that counts. The factory that is considering
blade efficiency as blade cost or number of cuts or speed
of cuts alone is figuring with only part of the facts.
Make a scientific efficiency test on hand or machine
lihules, that covers all your co.^^t items and you are sure
to standardize on

STAR HACK 5AW BLADES

Machine and Hand

Star Blades were the first modern blades ever manufac-
tured and the very idea of renewable metal-cutting blades
originated in this factory.

Our thirty-year quality supremacy has been maintained
at the cost of constant metal-cutting research. Hundreds
of thousands of- tests ha^ve been made to determine exactly
what thickness, width and length; what shape and setting
of teeth, and what steel comjiosition and tempering would
give the best metal-cutting results under all kinds of
conditions.

These standards of quality never vary because our blades are
manufactured by special automatic machinery to gauges of the

Flexible and All Hard

finest limits. And this machinery makes possible an enormous
quantity production at a minimum of factory cost.
Star Blade quality with all it has meant in the past is higher
to-day than ever before. It is an important fact that the
standard methods of manufacture used by all the other hack-
saw makers were abandoned by us more than twenty years ago
for our more efficient methods. The Star line includes blades
for every purpose — machine and hand — flexible and all hard.
Whatever metals you are cutting, there is a Star Blade that
will give you thi g'reatest cutting efficiency at the smallest cut-
ting cost." Make your own drastic tests to prove this or place
the burden of proof on us and we will demonstrate it for you
beyond all doubt. Put your cutting problems up to us and we
will welcome a chance to help you solve them.

Hack Saw Blades

Made in lengths from 6 in. to 36 in., and in widths from Yi in. to 2
in., for all sizes of power hack saw machines, also hand frames, and
in gauges and pitches suitable for cutting all kinds of metal.

The material in these blades is the very last word in the steel
makers' craft; added to this, the correct mechanical construction,
also very special heat treatment given to the steel, go to make up the
highest efficiency in a hack saw blade.

Regular "STERLING" Blades, in both power machine and
hand frame sizes, are hardened throughout, and drawn to a degree
to combine toughness with hardness.

"STERLING" Blades for hand frames are also made with a
double hard edge, the greater part of centre being left soft, making
them strong and rigid as well as flexible.

come addition in your tool chest. With it a broken
tap presents no difficulties and makes little lost time.
The crucible steel fingers of this strong device go
down into the flutes and it is then a simple matter
to back the tap out by applying a wrench to the
squared outer end of the tool. The thread is unin-
jured in the process, the casting or forging is saved
and an otherwise nasty job has been handled with-
out trouble or loss of time.

A Working Drawing and a Photographic Reproduction of
Every Shape andSize Wheel Used on all Standard Machines

At the top of each page is a photographic reproduction of the wheels — below
is a detailed cross section drawing showing every dimension— as readable as
a blue print. It is a simple, practical, entirely new method. The Carborun-
dum Catalog should be in every plant where grinding wheels are used.

It's Mighty Good Business
Management To Install
M. E. C* Air Cylinders

Because of their money-saving service. They improve and
increase your output and decrease your operating costs. They are
lighter than others, yet are more durable and compact.

Style "D" shown above is double acting; operates in either
direction.

The pistons are packed with high-grade twist lubri-
cated packing supported by a tapered, adjustable
piston ring. In the application of power to chucks,
the M.E.C. Air Cylinder will be found ideal. End
thrust in air supply connection has been eliminated
and a minimum number of parts assured, because
of cai-eful design. It is as near leak-proof as is
possible to make an air cylinder.

Air Chucks on

Our catalog will tell you
some very interesting
facts about these
chucks. Send for it
to-day.

On munition work Hannifin chucks have demonstrated
their time and labor-saving features in a marked man-
ner. The photograph shows one of a long line of lathes
boring six-inch shells — all equipped with Hannifins.

In your own plant — whether you are making shells or
whether you are doing general manufacturing, Han-
nifin Air-Operated Chucks will aid you to speed up
production.

Their instantaneous action, positive grip and ease of
operation will save time to the extent of increasing
output 20 to 100 per cent.

And if you have adopted female labor, the problem of
unskilled help will present fewer diflficulties. The
operation of the Hannifin is so simple that very little
effort is required by the operat-or.

You Should Know Its Points

Among its man}- distinct features is one that is the
most convincing argmnent and the reason why you
should be "Murchey" equipped. That is — its adjust-
able feature. For comparative purposes we will take
a solid tap. When the first grinding on a solid tap is
made, the original accuracy is at once hist. The more
grindings the greater the inaccuracy. With the Mur-
chey Adjustable Tap, when the first grinding is made
the adjustable feature allows for absolute accuracy.
The chaser may be adjusted to compensate for wear.
This gives the Murchey Tap the life of ten solid taps.
Think that over. One tay) will take several sizes. Taps
cover a range of I14' to 12*.

An inquiry would secure our immediate co-operation.

For Positive Accuracy —

and Big
Time Saving

"Victor" Collapsible Taps
are simple in construction;
the few parts can be made
large and strong; the body
is machine steel, and the
chasers are high-speed;
screw adjustment from front
end malies it easy to main-
tain close accuracy; trip is
automatic; reset by means
of lever. The above features

— and others — make the "Victor" a time and money
saver for severe service. It is being used by many shell
manufacturers.

Will they stand improvement? If they

H. & G. Automatic Self-Opening Die
Heads will do the trick.

The Chasers are set and held in place by a steel
cam, which, once adjusted, locks ; there is no
stoppage or changing in size. The quick release
not only insures the cutting of the thread to a
given point every time, but permits cutting right
up to a shoulder when necessary.

Two Handy Levers
Give the Correct
Turret Feed
for Each
Operation
on this Piece.

Turret Feed Change Le

The simple movement of one or both
of these levers is all that is required to
get the mo.?t productive feed for each
turret operation, eight feeds in geo-
metrical progi'ession being instantly
available for eacli spindle speed.

Practically no more effort is required
to use the correct feed for each opera-
tion than to use the same feed for the
entire seven tools.

This "tvarret -slide-feed" feature is but
one of many points that make for
handines.~ and consequentlv FAST
